That's the downside with fairly loud exhausts, you tend to press the right hand pedal a bit too hard at timesD366Y wrote:Haha good point!Andrew 2.8i wrote:I check the fuel gauge a lot. The joys of driving a 2.8!D366Y wrote:Couldn't agree more Andrew! I never check the dash anyway!

Don't I know it... Drove round to Essex last week, me in the capri and my dad followed in his MR2, both dropped down from 5th into third through the tunnels on the M25andyd wrote:Andrew 2.8i wrote: I check the fuel gauge a lot. The joys of driving a 2.8!

Re: Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement
HI All,
Here's my car driving through a tunnel sometime last year.
This is Neil's better video of him and Mark in the much longer Hindhead tunnel.

Stick your 'Supercars', not alot sounds better than a Ford V6 through performance exhausts
But what the hell were you doing out in the rain?

Yes, then onto the CCI Nationals afterwards. Two shows in one day!andyd wrote:Once it's wet, it's wet, so you may as well keep going.....Queens Square meet looking at the time
Agree about the rain. There's no point in turning around and going back once you've set out.

I like driving early on a Sunday morning, as the roads are pretty quiet Not usually so good on the way home around teatime though
Are you going to Singleton Park May 1st? The South Wales XROC usually go to that one.
Looks like a good show

Yes, I am planning on going to Singleton Park, although it does depend on the weather. As it's held in Swansea it will probably be pouring down. As usual!
Hopefully there will be a good turn out from the XR boys and girls.

Pretty sure a few XR's will be there, as they won't do Simply Ford because of it......
