zero_to60

it's when you can go on a track day and powerslide at 60/70 coming out of corners that really underlines that this car is FUN

On Saturday afternoon, I'm glad I did not Vtec round the roundabout...
Was following a MX5 off a roundabout on the A41, I have to point out it had rained about 1/2 an hour previously.
The guy in the MX-5 tried to power out of the roundabout onto dual carriageway, when the back end went, he span and ended up on the bank....
Eventually the guy was stretchered off to hospital, it was a very sobering moment!

bloody hell, he must have been going some to get stretchered off.........

let's hope he was just shaken up and not badly hurt

Ok. Lets lay the CC bait.

The handling to me feels suspect. I prefer front wheel drive.



How can he resist?

[foreyes=allexceptCC]Not my real view - I am a RWD novice but find the handling in the dry amazing. Not had the courage/opportunity to try hard in the wet yet.

There is a roundabout near me that I have negotiated for years and years. I have managed to make every car I have had squeak around this within a few days of the car arriving. Not managed it in the S yet though - four months now too. Sad reflection on my skills rather than the car.[/foreyes]

I was followed by a black V Plate S (your old one Paul? seems to live in Prudhoe) this morning in the rain, and he was really pottering around, didn't seem interested in trying to keep up with the Bluebird doing 50 mph

I had a small slide this morning in the wet, pulled out of a junction and the rear near side when over a drain cover and sideways I went.
