Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I wouldn't dare do such an irresponsible thing in an old car
, but must confess that my Various RWD Volvos were all immensely satisfying to drive sideways and they're
very forgiving, so even a complete numpty can look like they were taught to drift by no less than
*insert name of drifting champion at time of reading this post* him/herself..

Just like every other transit then. Nothing to worry about
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.

You jammy b'sterd
, I advise that you buy two lottery tickets tonight to capitalise on the theory that luck comes in clusters of three events. I take it that France has a lottery, other than the one which is clearly operating in testing stations?

I bet you are making that up. Truth is, when the French plod saw your clapped out rust bucket he thought you were taking it to the breakers yard. Thought to himself: "There might be a half decent battery in that."
