Before you all start shouting, it was round Millbrook test track, and that car sticks to the road like **** to paper but the test driver did say his wrists hurt

I was going to say something to that effect about him admiring the scoobys in the car park but decided with matters of taste and decency in mind not to

The driver did say though it does tend too snap from side to side, but saying that he had no problems hacking it round the handling circuit, before he took us round the high speed bowl the on the handling circuit the back end of the car would NOT step out it was amazing.

P.S. and he let me push the starter button

Glenn,
The high performance cars we were not allowed to drive, but you could get free rides in the RS Focus, Noble, an STI8 of course, but I drove an S type Jag MGF, Saab Turbo,MG 190,3.2 V6 Vectra, and the new Honda 2.4.Accord, all very nice and all at 100mph round the ovel test track and through the hill route.
Cheers
Colin

Cool

I did 160mph round the bowl in a Volvo - Ok so it was a 300bhp S60R but it was totally silent and the racing driver was getting me to play with the electronic suspension settings whilst doing it!!! This thing was also faster round the handling circuit than the focus - amazing .............

I had a quick blast through the gears (2nd,3rd) with one of these in my S2000 and it was not really that fast.
