I've never got into the habit of leaving a manual car in park, I know it's good practice, but I've never done it. When you get your Mog Neilda, do park in gear. Fly-off handbrakes can be just that!

The clutch switch is purely to prevent starting without the clutch depressed. It doesn’t seem to do anything once the engine's running. I.m hoping that it will do the same tomorrow, in which case the switch is guilty!

On the subject of 3.7Roadsters, I wonder what's happened to numog...
He was due to collect his car on Monday & drive back to Germany.
Did you see him at the factory, Jays?

Good advice. I must get in the habit of doing it..... Most people I know ALWAYS put their cars in gear, I think I'm the only one who never does it.

I met up with him and his son on Monday at the factory along with his local dealer who was also picking up a Roadster demonstrator. The car was not quite ready...both in fact! Had a very pleasant time with them at the factory. On Tuesday I popped over to see Mike Duncan and John Worrall and who should be there buying up half of Heart of England but Numog! His car was promised for later in the day and the factory had lent him a Plus4 four seater for the day.

Hi @ all - in specific: dear Ian & dear Jay - mission finalised.... (well, in the end...) To put a long story short: we picked up our new car (first time........) on Tuesday early afternoon. In just one sentence: the beauty  & the B E A S T  - all in ONE !!!!!!!!!! And, yes: we made it "in one piece" back home, car has covered approx. 1.000 miles - with growing smiles per mile still!!! 
It doesn´t matter how fast it becomes, but how it becomes fast.  2015 Roadster 3.7
