Uh-oh. The clutch has started to slip on the Ypsilon. 39k on the odometer.
I can think of 3 reasons:
1. Poor quality of clutch fitted originally
2. The car had a hard life in her first 12 months as a demonstrator
3. Too much boy racer driving on my part
Naturally, number 3 is right out. I did all my excessive acceleration in the Dedra, which tended to speed up quite nicely when you pressed the fast pedal. Number 1 is surely unlikely in this modern era? Even if it was sub-standard, it's hard to prove and waaaaay out of warranty. So that leaves number 2. I want confessions from those of you who borrowed this car and had far too much fun in your 48 hours. Usual e-mail address. All guilty parties' details will be kept confidential. Promise.
