    ours is fine up to ~2700rpm/52mph and then it starts misfiring, bloody fuel injection!

    Call me dull but I'm out. Pushing an old bus to its limits is asking for the kind of trouble I neither want nor need.

    Dull. :D
    I think if anyone thought something might break, they also wouldn't do it, but it's not compulsory, it's just a bit of fun. Have you never put your foot to the floor?

    Where's your sense of adventure man??
    I'm out too because I've ripped the beating heart out of mine.

    But I did it anyway.
    Devon camper, awning on the side, full interior with fridge...
    0-55mph - 14 seconds
    Then I felt it wise to change gear to get to 60 which cost me some time.
    0-60mph - 18 seconds.

  14. put bigger vents back in and don't bother changing into 4th!
     
  15. Might shave a couple of seconds off that if you packed your awning up first;)

    32's fitted at the moment, I think it's the exhaust and heat exchangers. The 2020/early felt quicker, that was good for 70 in 3rd though I only did that once, when I was showing the engine off to the chap who bought it. :)
