Quite right derek, I drove a class two, which ain't a patch on benders with multi-gear ratio boxes, it ain't fun having to drop right down the box when you lose your revs. I was once going down the M6 early one Sunday morning, it was rather quiet at the time, then we came across a Sunday driver doing 40mph in the middle lane, would he move, would he hell. His wife was looking round giving us black looks, then he started pointing-to the outside lane, eventually he pulled into left hand lane and we overtook him, when we were passing, he shouted whats wrong with the outside lane, to which I politely told him, in words of one syllable, we couldn't use the outside lane
