A little Rotrex; now there's a surprise.

Hopefully it therefore won't ruin the dynamics, whilst allaying fears about Gareth Salesweasel in his f ucking Audi A-nalsex at the traffic lights GP, of those concerned about such issues.

Seems like FI 86s were also popular at TAS this year

They're almost impossible to slide in VSA on mode; very nannying, but I think I understand why.

VSA Sport mode & it's almost exactly how you'd imagine it to be.
RichUK's mate, Mark Hales, said in this months TrackDriver mag that 'What Toyota have done is create an under tyred proper handling sports car that will send novices to the neared ditch.'

Hence that traction control!
I've just spent four days with Mark & the Trackdriver magazine guys at Autosport show. A good bunch of guys. Courtesy of his good friend Nick Mason, we had the McLaren F1 GTR on the stand. Even after 20 years, it is still the car that others are judged by. Difficult to get into that middle seat though!

It's what the car is all about. Then again, it's a scene that in Yerp we simply don't get.

There have admittedly already been some monstrosities; FT86s "stanced" on retarded wheels, turbochargers installed near the rear axle due to underbonnet space, etc.

But there is a lot of good stuff already available.

Couple of managers have them as company cars hence any driver insurance. If I don't get to have a go at arranging a test drive outside of work I might see if I can borrow one for a lunch time
