Question

That the MX-5 has oil in the Gear Lever Turret?? and I am just about to replace it??

Nothing to do with Scoobies, I know - BUT we all love cars ..... just thought you would like to know!!

I take it the Scobby hasn't some such arrangment??

Any other cars with this?? anyone know what it does??

Sir P LEWIS


Will you be attending the NORTHERN BIG ONE as a special judge for the event as it would be a major coo for us to attract such a celebrity as yourself ?

im sorry we cant offer you a fee but the sight of 300-400 scoobs , many with GOLD wheels is worth the trip up for you

Question

I honestly don't have a clue why there is oil in there!!

Can't make the meet, despite the chance to see all the Gold Wheels and wander the Handbag Stalls!!

Is it due to the lack of torque, so you are always changing gear?

Are you sure it isn't hair gel spilt by the previous owner ?
