Yep. 4 speed crash. 5.25 rear end. To be fair that's probably the furthest the car has gone in 1st gear since I got it. It goes up most hills in top or 3rd, but sometimes if there's a steep hairpin I have to go for 2nd. I think it probably would have done this in 2nd had it not been for the narrowness of the road and the 90° turns with walls on both sides. I remember doing the climb up mont ventoux several years ago. We were two up and going well out of Bedoin until a hairpin caught me out and I was stuck in 2nd all the way from there up to the chalet reynard. That was a long slog.
