Don Coatney Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Forum member Todd Bracik who owns a pair of D-24's paid me a visit today. He rode with me on the first drive of my new D-24. I was told that my car runs and drives better than his. It was good to have an experienced D-24 man along for the ride. A couple of times I came to a complete stop in 3rd gear and the car accelerated slowly but comfortably. That is one of the main reasons I wanted a fluid drive. Less shifting means less wear and tear on my already defective knees. While here Todd assisted in installing the front tag. Good to spend time with forum members. 4 Quote

rb1949 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Your buggy is attracting attention, and visitors. Enjoy many more rides. Quote
rb1949 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Had you ever driven a Fluid Drive prior to this? Quote
Don Coatney Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Posted July 2, 2016 Last time I drove a fluid drive was many years ago. This is the first one I have ever owned. Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Last time I drove a fluid drive was many years ago. This is the first one I have ever owned. FWIW I think they take a bit of getting used to. I drive my truck every day but often forget that it is there to use. With the rear axle ratio I have taking off in 3rd is just too slow for the cars I am forced to share the road with. None of them actually have my permission to be out and about.........but that doesn't seem to stop them. Glad to hear you got a good one. Jeff Quote
