Jsut drove VP back from CPF where Cameron fitted a 7 speed box to replace the 6 speed Spicer. I always thought the 7 were a Spicer but Cam tells me RR.
Anyway it has made VP just so easy to drive, feels like more HP (I know hasn't but feels like) now keeps up with the traffic when leaving lights and every change just falls in, way easier than the 6 speed.
Feel that the 7 speed is just the right combination, I could see no reason to go to a 10 speed RR and am really ahppy that I made that decision.
Amazed that something like one extra gear changes the way the whole coach feels.
Happy boy tonight.
