Out for a drive in the Sprite today since it's been parked in the garage
for 3 weeks and due one.
I passed a Suburu Impreza who didn't seem like he was in a hurry until I
passed him (or the speed limits changed from a 40 mph to a 70 mph?). Anyway
as I hoofed the Sprite he did likewise and never moved back in my rear
view mirror, even though I was changing up later than usual. I used 4th (1:1)
gear (car is a 5 speed) to 6.1K maybe 6.15/6.2K - 175/70 x 13 tyres on a
3.9 diff - which came up surprisingly quick from 3rd though I suppose I did
do 80 in 3rd (close ratio box) - you do the math. After that I moved over!
Somebody else officer,
