After posting several moans about all the people who get the rear of there car to move, mine did it the other day "20,000 miles later" It was dry and a fairly tight bend which can be driven at motorway recomendations, but it needed another 16 mph. The main point is that it still felt safe, i wouldn't have been happy in anything else i have owned doing this, im starting to think these cars are to quick for my own good. I know i can always grow up and drive for the MPG but it is as if the car is pozessed some days.

Hi

Be aware that the speed and the bend are not the only deciding factors in whether you go sideways. You could make the rear move at 30MPH if you wanted, and also probably take the bend another 10 MPH faster than you did with no oversteer at all.

All the best

If anyone wants to try it with another 10 mph, i'll pay to see it. It will be the last corner that car goes around :)

If you're like the rest of us, you'll have to come to terms with the fact that there is always someone who's quicker/better, and much as it pains me to say it, SDB is one of them.

There's a corner near me I used to swear couldn't be taken over 70, but I'm now convinced it can't be taken over 95, but I know SDB could prove me wrong.

Whatever you drive, just make sure you drive within your limitations, and the car's. That's why I never go over 30 :)
