    Well, still nervous as is my nature - but the Detroit felt like such a step down from the pure solidity of the N-14.

    Main aim was an efficient runner, within its mechanical capabilities.

    We’ll see how it goes. I don’t need to get to the top of the hills faster than anybody else - but stepping down to 8th in a 13 - at 75k is frankly unacceptable in the Blue Mountains.

    :)

    Someone has to get to the top first, guess I'll have to do it.

    Lol. Oops. My bad. I thought yours was a cat. I've always like those motors but you're not going to outrun anyone to the top of the hill. But you will pass them on the downside when they have to stop for fuel. Lol. At least that was my experience.
