The NEX-5 is streets ahead

At least you have honest friends

So it does... on the 2nd photo... I've never seen one before. Looks quite solid with 2 metal straps holding each leg

Automatics change up at quite low revs, so there shouldn't be any problems

No good for Kingfisher's E'h

I wouldn't mind the 2,000mm

I would think motorway driving would be OK. The gear box isn't strained in top gear.... on some cars with 5/6 gears it's probably an overdrive gear even though they don't call it that. The engine will only be doing a gentle 3,000/3,500 revs which won't do any harm.

In the mid seventies I went for a test drive in a new VW Scirroco, it only had 4 speeds and was doing 4,000 revs at 70mph, so I had to say no thanks I bought a Lancia Spyder instead which had an overdriven 5th gear and (I think) only did about 3,000 revs at 70. The sad part was that I had to scrap it at 4.5 years old due to rust, so I might have been better with the VW

Ford still tell you in the manual to drive gently for the 1st thousand miles and still take it easy for the next thousand

Does anyone know where I can buy a "Bubble Inflater"
I've got two small spirit levels, but the bubbles seem to
have gone smaller
