Amazing video, I had one of the originals back then - K123VOX, still remember the plate - How sad!!  I was a right rocket powered rollerskate, but the clutch was heavy

Very impressive driving  :drool:

But for every day use with a normal road car I still prefer a Rwd over frontWD.

^^^^^  Bit Ot...........

Reminds me of my first car ..........................  ORJ113R - Renault 5 £120 and 850cc's of pure speed!

Dropped onto 3 cyl's every time i passed a wagon!  Would just do 55, no more, you could inspect the ditches on every corner - It leaned that far over!

It was a 5 star car - you could see 5 stars through the hole in the roof!  It had a walking stick gearstick, hanging out of the dash!

Me too, but did make me think about stopping winging about FWD. My previous cars have all been RWD for a very long time. 3.2 911, E30M3, E46 M3, E39M5, E92M3, 964C2RS

The trouble is I am doing 25k a year private mileage and I have no garage for a second car  :ashamed:

The recipe for fun FWD is to make it steer from the rear, which is why French cars are so good - they lift off oversteer on demand.

That said, I can't wait for winter in mine  :signLOL:
