With a lift off it can't be like that.Maybe the road is so thight.I know a few evos crashed because of power oversteering but lift off is a controllable stuff.Maybe the guy is going too fast.
I hope it will be come back as soon as possible.

If that was mine, I wouldn't want it repaired
There are (I am told) some P1's still available I would want a new one

P1
power oversteer is far easier to control for the average driver.
Lift-off oversteer is the more agressive (sp?) of the two.
It seems, the most common cause of crashing an AWD car is lift-off-oversteer. Hence the abundance of bump-steer in the factory set-up.

Hi Rum,
I hope you do not get offended by this question because it is a serious one, but did you shed tears? I would have.
Scotty.
PS: What a gorgeous car. Before I mean

I suppose you can't think why a Smiley icon and "nice !" might be considered offensive.

What is your f*****g problem Pazza?
Is "nice" a word that's suitable to describe that horrible image? I really hope that someone will be there and return the favour when it happens.

You are really a w****r in your own muppety way Pazza.
Wasn't it you who never had speeded, I seem to remember your name...
I guess the threewheeled bike is hard to get any speed on.
Get some frickin respect for other peoples feelings!
**** off IMHO.
