Title: quick run out yesterday
Post by: credders on September 09, 2012, 07:53:38 AM
there was a small show at the next village to me Scotter so i let the wife take my cortina and i took the beta for a run then called here, slight hesitation on low revs but runs well when you keep it buzzing.no major problem will investigate though.

White car looks very good indeed, and the Cortina isn't too shoddy either!
Low rev hesitation shouldn't be a concern cos you should always keep the revs up and drive it like you stole it!
By the way, are those Dunlop alloys on tme 'Tina?

they are them reproduction dunlop D1s from midland wheels. it used to have genuine 1s on but previous owner didnt like em so got rid!. i found myself changing down a lot and givin it the loud peddle to keep the revs up and the motor singin, i thought how old are you, sort of thing id be doin 20odd yrs ago ;D

i guess low revs is just somewhere you pass through on your way from stop to flat out !

My spyder runs well throughout the rev range, but we're happiest over 4k and as regards age, I was born in the very early 60's, in fact I only just missed the 50's so I've earned the right to press "play" and sod them if they can't take a joke!
