Well... I did say "nearly". I need the 3rd pedal.
It makes me feel more like a bear chested hairy man!



Best wishes,
Well thanks, the issue is I have big feet and the pedals on a regular manual set up caused me grief when I was in the selection mode. Dunno about the girlie thing, but I am told there is an edge in the quarter mile for the auto tranny vs the manual, don't know, not done that yet but will sure find out.

Also I am reckoning when I am tearing up the hiway making all that noise, knowbody will know its and auto, they'll just be blown away with the lit tires, sorry tyres, as I fly by.

BTW do the guys from OZ and particularly those from Victoria, drive their Cobras, bare, sporting that hairy look? If they do, that be fair dinkum I reckon, each to their own. How about the guys in Perth, they into the buff stuff?

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
