Tranny ?

[VXorado]

LOL - ok ok ok - I give.

We all do what we have to do.
The VX is the first ever auto I have owned.
Driven plenty of autos and hated them, and it just does not seem natural driving an auto off road.
That said, I will own my VX for ever, and if it does need a new tranny or engine, it will get a 5 speed manual swap.
I was just hoping some one else would do it first.

Off course, here in downtown Hobart, it takes me 12 minutes to drive the 16km (10miles) to work.
That is, unless I do it in peak hour.
Then it takes 15 minutes.

I also wish the VX came in manual BUT autos do have their benefits offroad. Most people prefer autos offroad because its much easier not dealing with a clutch on really difficult trails and because the torque converter in autos will end up yielding much more power when starting from a stop.

I know you were just saying that you prefer the feel of a manual offroad, but I just had to throw in my two cents.

"it takes me 12 minutes to drive the 16km"



It takes me 1-3 hours for my 45 mile commute (each way). I'm stickin wit da auto.

I got an idea! PK can buy mine and then he can be the first to do the switch!

It's looking like "ole stubby" is goin up for sale or will be parted out. He's getting old and worn and I have to have reliable transport to get to work. As much as I love him I think the time has come to move on. If I had the money to buy something else and rebuild I would ... but they sold me worthless powerball tickets the other day so ain't gonna happen right now.

I will buy it, but you have to pay the shipping.

PK.. I have a plan... my daughter lives in Sydney and she's coming home for a couple of weeks in September. I will sneak the vx into her luggage when she leaves to go back. (think customs will notice?) She will be going to Tasmania at Christmas to her boyfriends family Inn.. she could once again sneak it in her luggage to deliver to you. Of course we may have to do this one piece at a time each time she visits but I'd say in the next 20 years or so we could get most of it down to you.


LDub: I took those worthless powerball tickets back to the store, told them I wanted to return them because they didn't work...they kicked me out of the store! Sheesh,, they really have a crappy return policy!
