[DMCForum] British geography



Devonshire -- Exeter. Home of the world's smallest bridge open to
automobile traffic (am SO glad I left my Lincolns home on that trip).
Also had prettiest woman in British Isles serving in this little pub
out past the moors. Can still close my eyes and see her face...

But I digress.

Don't need to waste any more bandwidth, but we are definitely
travelling 2 different worlds. Big blocks in a luxury application
rarely hit 2000 rpm. Can pull some passing someone, but spend most of
their time percolating slightly above idle (at 80 mph thank you very
much). Can't see 8000 with a telescope.

Mind you the racing boys do, but we're talking luxury ap.

Don't really enjoy pulling rpm's in my DeLo. Start getting nervous
close to 5000. Obviously acclimated to the luxury liners. Would stroke
out at 8000. Louie G and I have two totally different driving styles.
His shifts are WAY past mine.

Re: buzzy little engines -- no one on this side of pond pulls anything
regularly with less than 300 inches or so (and you're asking for
trouble at that). Professionals are all above 400. Big difference
between carrying passenger in your sports car and towing a camper,
horses, etc.

BTW: what do you have against cruise control? Can't wait to install on
my DeLo.

Finished de-emissioning and tuning latest Lincoln today (driveway FULL
of vacuum crap) so cover never even came off DeLo. Will tinker with
mixture screw tomorrow.
