Tacet - The clutch has been replaced, but it didn't really need it. Car was in for maintenance and was already partially disassembled, so the clutch was replaced anyway. What's another few thousand on a $30-40k service bill The car has just over 9k miles on it now, and feels great.

From what I hear, as long as you drive the clutch correctly it can last 15k miles or more. If not driven correctly, it could be as low as a 1k miles.

I don't know how to post pics on this forum, so if someone will enlighten me I'll share a few. When I click, "Insert image" all I get is a box that asks for a URL.

There is a little button under the reply box titled "go advanced". From there you can "manage attachments" and post a pic.

This car is going to be one of those ALL TIME Classics. People don't believe they can feel THAT connected to the road but Alas, that is what they made it for.

Good on ya.



It's staggering how many CGT owners spend time on here but don't give any thought about becoming Members.
