Much opinion is supported by adherence to outdated and illogical beliefs held dear by proponents and opponents on both sides. Much “evidence” is used by both sides, most of it unsupported by fact or rational analysis.

I’m not going to get into this debate, other than to comment that my car has a shaft drive! somestick


Strange posting Peter? As someone who has owned many Chain, 5 Belt and 3 Shaft drives I must be weird as I don't fit your model. I saw the advantages and disadvantages in each one, loved them for what they were kicked them for what they were not and basically to try and categorise them is like listing ones children in order of preference.....in fact that latter point is quite easy for me, ever tried having a 6 feet 5inch professional second row rugby player full of testosterone in your house?.....mind you his sister had her moments rofl
