Very, listen to it whine!

Sounds straight cut to me, and being put able into gear when the engine is off with no clutch would be correct too.

Could just open up the gearbox and have a look

I'm really very impressed with the new Focus, I like it! :)

Mine sounds exactly same as that. Maybe my mic on the camera not picking the sound up.

Also my engine is different and my gearbox would be from the factory since its never been replaced.

If nothing has ever been replaed that it probably won't be straight cut gears. Would be an odd modification to do to a car aswell if nothing else has been done

Thats why I said maybe from the factory. My mini has been in my family and just one owner so its a not been modded or anything.

On another topic, I am shocked and amazed that my golf bag and clubs fitted into the back of my mini with no hassle. First I've put the whole in the back.

Hi, nice car, nice colour, I assume it is a Zetec, has yours any other options fitted and have you driven it much? My Titx is due for collection on the 1st sept and betcha I'll be posting up plenty of pictures as well.

No minis came from the factory with straight cut gears iirc? That sounds identical to my old minis and I could always put those in gear without clutch with the engine off... in fact I'm sure you can in any car?

That's a straight cut mini, sounds much louder and more whiney than either of mine.

my ST today after a much needed wash

Well, I made a thread about my car a few weeks ago, but I love it so much I thought I'd put some pics in here too

That's allright, that is.

Probably right, what makes it whine so much in the first place though?

Farnborough? Odd place but stay, but the hotel in that centre was good. Recall visiting Red Hat there too.

Hi, ahh right I forgot the Titanium also comes with the black headlamps. How are you finding the voice control, working ok?

It's actually quite a bit different to the Zetec as it has the 10 spoke allows etc

Yep, Farnborough. Agreed, shocking location for a hotel, although handy for the airport I guess. Red Hat are in the building behind my car in the pictures and there's a company called Blue Coat in the building opposite, I always have a little chuckle to myself walking past those.

I must say I rather like the new Focus, it's quite a good looking car, especially from the front.
