picked up the cup 172...

[papman]

oh my goodness, how fast!!!! It will happily spin its wheels in the first 3 gears on a slippy road.

Quick question to all the other cup owners, is it just me, but does the clutch bite like a dog with rabies so starting off in 1st can be a real balancing act!?

photos will be put up at the weekend after the polishing and waxing with my UDM.....

welcome

 

[papman]

must say I don't understand how wheelspin affects the clutch?! I don't drop the clutch, far to old for that sort of malarky now!

thanks for all your kind welcomes! and yes I am taking it easy, but it is such fun in second and third and it really sounds angry even when idle

 

[papman]

oh yeah, does anyone know where I can get a cup sticker like the one on the side of the car to stick on the back?
