Go to the FPV drive day and find that its extremely difficult to change gears. Didnt think too much of it. Went down to do the first event in front of the GT & GTP boys, two other typhoons were also present.. Done one corner and then even more difficult to change gears. One more time and nothing. No gear change at all. Couldnt even put the bloody thing into reverse.. anyway car got towed by FPV to the nearest FORD dealer. They have given me a XR6 to drive around in and will put me in a GT or GTP in the next few days. Extremely dissapointed! Looked likt it would have been a great day for all...Special thanks to David Cuff , Brad Howes and all the FPV guys for the day. Looking forward to coming on the next one with the Typhoon all ready to go!
