Looking at some of the other vids I see (or rather hear) the gears have been nicely polished!

I supose thats the advantage of having a crashed sound card. In my head I only heard the rousing rumble of the V8 and smooth as silk gear changes

You can now make the appropriate sound effects as you watch it.

Hope this motivates you guys with unfinished projects.

This truck is paying me back with interest. It is that good to drive.

They are a beast in the mud, they love it!!!

For the Cab 12 owners - you get used to the cramped cockpit. It s actually starting to feel a bit roomy now.

Gear changes improving out of sight!!! Even got the heel/toe thing going on downshifts.

Keefy was having a ball when he took the wheel & may I say is a very very good operator. (I even saw a rise in visually revealed enthusiasm - honest).
Got a great demonstration of high/low transfer case shifts on the fly and excellent gear shifting.

Max had a turn as well - with some sparkling driving - great to witness & learn.

Ett iz a sacrilege to drive such a niece truk in zee mud!!!!

You guys have an advantage since you already are familiar with driving on the wrong side of the road and shifting with your left paw.

Of course it was fun! But I think the best driver for something like that would be a 5'6" female in ballerina shoes. Perhaps the pink ribbon on your windscreen post is an indication.

Size 12 Rossi boots do not make it easy, but who cares?

I can imagine the design discussions with Sid Swallow and his team: "Well the average guy won't be able to get both his feet in there, but it's what the Brits asked for!"

Finally got the new computer and re-watched the video clips, the V8 still sounds as good as my imagination but I hear what you mean about the gears but I'm shore Tony has mastered it by now.
The new computer has a bigger screen and makes looking at the pictures better too, also having the type larger helps my eyesigh.
