My eyes are dim, my memory is ... Whoops. Perhaps 9000 RPM is a bit closer to when the bloody thing stuttered when I overdid it a bit. It got there rather rapidly in 1st and getting into 2nd and 3rd on time took a bit of fast twiddling. No paddle flapping nonsense, just a stick that has to be moved rather fast in conjunction with the clutch. I live in Yeovil, Somerset - the Ariel mob are from down the road - Crewkerne (pronounced something like Kruken!)
