K reg one, the guy saw me, and waved :)

Hi mate,

It was me you spotted :-) I was on my way to jabbasport for a standard charger rebuild.

I stopped at blyth services for a piss, returned to my car, started it, then could NOT select any gear other than reverse and 2nd

I considered my options and set off with just reverse and 2nd with 100 miles still left to go. upon leaving the service station i realised that going in 2nd on the A1 was bloody stupid! so I turned back and called for help.

I would love to have had a duel with you on the motorway entrance sliproad- recon you could you beat 177bhp proven with a maniac driving?

E2A- car is currently undergoing gearbox and charger rebuild, the thought of the cost of this is giving me palpitations!

2nd gear on the A1 ??? lmao.

You'd probably still leave people standing!

Get some pictures and a spec up in chat dude! sounds mental!

ooh i would have had a good duel haha

I don't have any pics of the car ready to upload at the moment, but will get round to putting them up when i get the car back hopefully next week.

a little info on the car,

had it for 2 years, bought it for £3900 (standard) with 40,000 on the clock now has 55,000. I was intending to leave it standard and keep in in the garage but that idea quickly faded...
