No problems. With Roly's G300 Diesel Auto we hit the ton (100 mph/160 kph) various times in our way to the Merklingen 25th Anniversay celebrations while Ian was doing a celebratory full moon to the guys in the other G :lol:

It had then 188 k miles and still going strong today!

I am glad to say that all my engine troubles are gone...
I can do 150km/h on the highway now...
the problem was that the throttle linkage had to be adjusted to fully open the dieselpump.

Ahhh, happy days, good memories. Not the full moon bit, I still can't look at him straight in the eye. :lol:
