You're right Steve. Straight hills 3rd gear, no probs. Even better now with the SU & 37 head. It's the hairpins that catch the no sync box out - if you have to take second you're stuck as you need so much time to get back up into 3rd. Like tackling the climb up Mont Ventoux from the Carpentras side. We were running great in 3rd out of Bédouin and then came to the first hairpin at St Estève which was really tight and steep. We were stuck in 2nd from there on until we got to the Chalet Reynard, then it was 3rd again all the way to the top. That is one hell of a pull - I have no idea how the cyclists do it. Tommy Simpson didn't of course.

Climbing big hills in the Austin I love, it's the coming back down you have to watch out!
