you buggers with RWD rightness :-x

I'm driving around in a 1.4 Xsara at the moment, cut through Asda car park on the way home from work last night, loads of space and snow, but a nervous wife next to me saw what was going to happen and gave me the death stare, so no handbrake action. :cry:

I've got low profile tyres, I am not gonna waste them on cornering sideways. besides, the roads here are lethal. somethin like 300 serious injusies locally in 5 years.

:) mine never complained about TLGP's or speeds of 120+ (200sx - dont think the BM can achive that!) its just the merest hint of sideways action set the "sensible kell" alarm off :?

well mine is worse than ever now after she boradsided the Soarer last week and stuffed it into a signpost. So she's convinced the car is sliding permanently now, even the 1.4 Xsara turd
