Thought it was going like the wind since he done the breathers.  ::)
He says a drastic improvement.  I've heard it can now keep up with a Raleigh Chopper....

Second gear never ever worked on my Chopper, bloody Sturmey Archer!

And wasn't that gear knob in a very dodgy place on the early Choppers? I had many a close call.  :-?

The SA 3 speed was easy to set up (when you knew how) and reliable.  IIRC, is was put in 2nd gear, then adjust so shoulder of adjuster lined up  (used to work in a toy and cycle shop - best job I ever had :))

Squashed many a bollock on that lever though  [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

Beautiful... In spite of the lack of leather... I am almost tempted to upgrade my 2001 CDX... Only problem is that mine has less than half the mileage of the Elite... and it has leather... hmm....

The Q & A seems to imply he won't take less that 4k for it...

Well, i'm gonna tell you, and Jim can back me up if you don't believe me....

I had a Chopper with Grifter handlebars. I think that's why my back gives me so much bother now.

You could pull some great wheelies with it though.  ;)

Has Tunnie's 2.2 got an engine? Every time he puts his foot down, if makes a lot of noise, nothing else happens  ;D

Thats coz he doesnt have an autobox! .....Had my 2.2 on cruise today on the A303....its up and downhill  a lot...downhill it was showing mostly 999.9mpg......excellent  :) uphill mostly 10-12mpg in 3rd gear doing between 4-5k revs  :o ......i just thought hey.....its 40ppl for lpg.....im not worried about it  :D

 ;D ;D :( :-[

If its just me in it, it's quick enough. Add passengers and it soon slows down  :(

But on the upside, comming back from my Uni room the other night, filled up @ 86.9  :)

Got to my junction on the M40, about 67 miles after filling up........ cruise was set @ 80 all the way, flipped to 'Range' and it said 527 miles!  :D

Since i regually get 450 miles from a tank, its slower to 60 but won't me making as many stops  ;)

just did a quick google on 0-60's interesting reading:

2.2 Manual - 0-60: 9.5 Seconds

2.5 Auto - 0-60: 9.2 Seconds

3.0 MV6 Auto 0-60: 8.7 Seconds

Use those 0.8 seconds wisely Jaime  ;) ;D

Propper gearbox makes it all worth while  ;)

Pretty much.

I think my modifying skills have came on a bit since then though.  ;)

I reckon you may be ahead up to around 30mph, after that you won't see me until the next petrol station  :-[
