Your article refers to replacing the R500 with your Superlight Twenty so, based on the chronology of ownership you listed, it would seem that you were writing about the 6MT car, and not the Quaife/sequential car.

Seems like pistonheads admin have fixed the picture posting issue now.

However the old problem we had before of file size has come back again.

Looks like it’s gone back to not letting you post any images bigger than 2MB.

I’m trying to follow you with an R500D Quaife and then my plan is to try a 620R Sadev next! They all look lovely.

Great to hear bud!

A lot if people moan about the Quaife sequential box, but it’s actually really good when used hard on the track.

Here’s one of my more famous videos in my white R500 with Tom as a young lad.
