Went & fixed up Josh's pedal box tonight, then we drove from his place to my place, (1 suburb), Holy crap does'nt it go  , torque steering all over the road, full boost in 2nd & 3rd gear. I can say i've been in it, will never set my arse into it again, im a driver, not a passenger.

I know. All this talk of torque steer, loss of traction and I'm yet to see any vid of a burnout! 
I promise one...

I must say I'm surprised, Josh is normally a very tame, mechanically sympathetic driver...

Well that's 2 Starlet Minis I've heard of that swerve all over the road when nailed (yes I rode in Brad's). How safe are these things, really...

Doc, Mine goes straight, Josh has been in it and knows. It all comes down to a good wheel alignment. And any mini is only as safe as the person driving it. Dan |

Err, make that three!!! I remember getting a phone call from Dean straight after he picked his up from Mr Enforcer. He said he was travelling up the highway, gave it a boot full and then patched it into 3rd and the thing changed lanes on him!!! Lucky for him he was wearing his brown cordoroys!!
