Early stroll. The horizon is slowly changing its clothes. The road is busy; a festival of gearchange. A fallen leaf like a fossilised fish. Unusually the dentist’s is illuminated and the betting shop is not. Streetlights like bullet points in a report.

Literally my only edit on Predator would be cutting the opening shot that makes clear an alien is involved. The story is structured to gearchange on the audience but it's undercut by lack of surprise. The claws on the hand in the POV shot should be a reveal

On day two of the trip, wife Liz takes the wheel of the Applause, quickly agreeing with Autocar & Motor's verdict on the car's 'delightful' gearchange. Later the couple go shopping, buying a 'superb Victorian theodolyte', which luckily fits into the Daihatsu's roomy boot.

Gearchange pedal on the other side is done. Nothing is symmetrical with bikes! 😭 (at least I could reuse part of the footrest)

Nice👍
Had 78 GTV 2000 Coupe for about 3 years in the early 80’s. Wonderful engine and chassis, terrible ergonomics !
Twin cam engine would rasp beautifully on every gearchange.
Your Coupe would be orders of magnitude better in every way.
Here it is with my dad standing next to it (not me!).

Early morning ride on the #R100GS thwarted by gearchange problems.
Easily sorted when I got back home and I still got to enjoy a chilly morning on largely empty roads.
