I fancy taking the Corrolla around Keevil and making it dance 
Mind you, it's more fun blowing away Beemers and Mercs on the roads.

I've got quite proficent at making the Corrolla 'go fast'.........
What's really good fun is braking very late and hard into a corner while turning in and making the rear go light and using the rear end to tighten the line without using much steering input
I've surprised quite a number of drivers who think I am easy meat

Most satisfying.
The faster we're going at the time, the more humiliating it is.
The best ones are where they have a passenger........

I enjoy throwing my Corolla about. It's only the 1.3 but it's very chuckable.
When I changed the front tyres after just 9k The tyre fitter told my "There a bit of an odd size, only used on some Unos and white vans"
Wooly

I used to be able to make my 2cv go pretty fast.
It was an art of not braking and using hills and traffic lights to my advantage. I'm not sure I'd fancy tracking one though.

I've had ideas of tracking the omega for a laugh. v6 & rwd, gotta be some fun (turn that tc off 1st though!!! ) Would only want to do a half day or less. The weight would shed those pads & tyres in no time.
