[QUOTE=Fatbloke;24304835]One careful owner. I never met that bloke though
That must be the feller who told me the engine had only done 10,000 miles and had never been above 5,000 rpm......

Well, I nearly mis-shifted the 86 on the public highway the other day. Basically, it's the same gearbox, and I recognised that either it or I had moved across slightly due to bump forces/torque reaction and I re-selected a safer gear whilst still coasting.
So it's very easily done in either car, for some reason. Tracks have nothing to do with it - honest!
