How to embarass a 'sportscar' driving a Corrolla
I've now master the art of driving a Corrolla auto quickly and overcoming it's inherent 'unsportiness'....as proved to a driver of a certain German Marque who thought he was following a numpty............but soon realised he wasn't
The art of left foot braking to balance the car into and through a corner...........while simultaneously using the throttle....you can make the car almost behave like a RWD car by making the rear of the car loose and tightening your line both on entry and through the corner
I would so like a drive of the Top Gear reasonably price car

honestly it can be made to go pretty quickly....what I'v worked out is that you need to find someway of avoiding the front running wide....by unsettling the rear of the car by playing with throttle and brake as you turn in you can tighten your line and bring the front of the car into line
I am mightly tempted to take it on a track day at Keevil....I think I could embarass a few people

I'd so go for it Paul if you can afford to do it
