    both my willy & valver did it nicely, and both my 1.6 & 1.9 gti where well on par with the clio's, not really had chance to try it in my current pug, but i'm sure it will be just the same, although a lot more lairy as i'll probably be going a lot quicker

    As it is, my car is incredibly grippy, though I do get the odd 4 wheel drift whilst on power in bends, though only really in the wet.

    I do get lift off understeer which means steering further into a bend coming off power, which I guess if I was as 'enthusiastic' as some of you would equate to tail out action if I was going faster.

    Personally though, I dont like that as I like to power out of bends and as such keep it on the boil at high revs in case I need the higher rev band power to nulify oversteer.

    Had two serious moments were Iw as caught out by sudden lift off oversteer and so now I am a bit of a coward.
