Moff, sounds a good spec.
Ran a TT for a couple of year 225 C, was a great car actualy.
But its true about the numbness of feel ( The Lotus was a good antidote)
The old Haldex system was 100% front drive until the wheels spun
about one revolution then it transfered up to 50% torque to the rear.
Bada, im a massive Liz fan but you asked for that!!

Tiff is still THE best driver on TV. To see him drifting that datsun with a dustbin size turbo on was pretty funny, even more so in the wet...then it broke twice which is perfect. For anyone who wants to criticise try writing with your opposite hand which is effectively what he had to do, i.e go around the track in the least efficient way possible.
[QUOTE=Bada Bing!,Jul 11 2006, 06:03 PM] I always thought the MkI looked too girlie if I'm honest.

Its so unfair I want their jobs. I think tiff and the vikki are only good because they get to practice so much without worrying about tyres and when they do mess up its hardly ever shown on tv. Whereas I think Tsuchiya could just get in any car and master it immediately.

I thought Plato did an interesting review of the Brooke Double R.
If I want a light car to hoon about on twisty backroads I will buy (and have done) an Elise. And I'd rather buy a Radical if I wanted something for the track.
