a long time ago now. but if you're still on.... do you think an exle strap at the shock absorber would prevent this? a strap with some flex.

LSD?

I had a ‘67 2 litre Vitesse. Great engine, lousy rear end but a fun car to drive so long as you understood its limitations. Dad had a Mk 1, 2.5 PI. That was a lovely car, far better than the Mk 2 version. Could cruise on the motorway at an effortless “ton”, all day long and was predictably sure footed in a way the Vitesse wasn’t.

That sound ! Unforgettable. I had a GT6, same engine. The little Jag.

All accomplished just with 2nd and 3rd, it looked like !! :-) Who needs top gear?

Mine wasn't quite as fast or handled as well Miss her though

Always seriously underrated car, in my opinion. Cracking vid. 😊

Really enjoyable - you handled her really well, nicely done. Brave as it's a MK1😊👍 Brings back happy memories of my Sprite, 1394cc, Weber etc, about 110bhp at the back wheels (so I was told), had it airborne like Sprinzel a few times too, it was quick and nibble, handled great (discs on the front etc and other mods). Also even into the 1980s, roads were still fun, risky, but hey, all about risk assessment/decision making (rather than a blind dash or mega risky overtakes). On a daily commute, with other, unknown, car enthusiasts, 'racing over the top of the Cotswolds' on the way home, a nod to each other on the roundabout at Burford (see you again on Monday sir). Now? I've a car with a small revvy engine, handles great, 60mph feels like 80mph, that way I keep my licence (I took a leaf out of James Hunt's book, iirc he a had a tweaked mini and a CF Bedford for the road, drove them flat out, avoided too many speeding tickets).😊😊👍👍

Loton this weekend in the TR championship and i'm doing my homework !! you are much missed AY

Lovely how technology improvement super 👍👍👍

what rear suspension do you use?

Splendid.

There are two thoughts that come to mind ....brave and...." the psychiatrist will see you now!" Is it a mk2 . I had a MK1 with a GT6 engine with 5 1/2" J's back in the day and there weren't too many who could keep up with me on the Shaldon /Torquay coast road. It had many very tight corners and took a lot of mastering but very satisfying when executed well. Ah yes , memories! That road is now bastardised by speed limits, solid double white lines and speed bumps! Thank you very much.

Lovely stuff....! Thanks for posting.

Great stuff AY. You’ll have to share the figures you got on sideways.

Great narrative with the video. Well done on a successful season. H

Great run Mr Y. 👍 Wonderful weather, great car. Need the gearbox back in my 3a.

Where do you mount your camera? Enjoyable run to watch!

Well saved!

It can really ruin your day when it bites back.

You do 90% of that in second gear !!! Great run. 👍

Great run A. You certainly have that Vitesse set up well. Good video. 👍
