Hopefully this will open in another window.

Third and fourth gear acceleration, all done in a politically correct environment under close adult supervision.

It was not until I watched the video that I realised it takes about the same time to get through third and fourth gear, it still accelerates the same in fifth gear 8O

I read the oil temp off the vent gauge, I always warm a car up before using the performance. :D
The oil temperature gauge in the Rev counter is connected to the gearbox, it normally runs at about 50 degrees Celsius
