Peter.

First ask of Williams was to fit a Wolf Sump Guard- so hopefully they are busy sorting that out before I collect the car.

This Speedster is a manual- going from my highly modified 4/4 - I wanted to keep a bit of the rawness - so wanted a manual. I think most are probably not and I understand why.

The box seemed very good to use although given the tractor like torque it didn't seem to matter much what gear it was in!!

I have the Speedster wheels on- which I believe are 18"- not sure which rubber they are fitted with?

I believe that I once enjoyed a " hot lap" in Tarka at Goodwood on a BHM track day. Frighteningly quick.

Tarka has favoured many....with her charms!

The auto box in sport is much the same as the manual box. In D it starts in 2nd, goes to 4th and then 6th. I understand that for normal road use this shift pattern is recommended with the manual.

Glad you have a sumo guard!

When to you collect the car?
