CamB 48 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 You must have had some exciting moments in the Pug - my 106 Rallye would try and go backwards if you lifted off mid corner at decent speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 pug = lift off overstear kings! you can learn it and then use it as a driving method... it's really helpful for doing things like scandinavian flicks, or when you have overcooked it into a corner... Yes i've had many a moment in my old 205 and the 306... the new 205 i haven't pushed it yet as it be broken... =;-) Bonus with the 205 being so small you can fit it and a small movers type truck on a one way bridge... although from experance i would not recommend testing it...

JiB 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2009 These things are down right dangerous in anything less than snow. Yup, and thoroughly unpredictable. I have no idea how they can be considered WOF worthy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted April 10, 2009 holy wtf ... wellington has motorway? Haha Andy, typical Jafa! Wellington, Chch AND Dunedin also have motorways - not just an Auckland thing (although by the amount you lot whinge and the $$ spent on the ones in AK it wouldn't be hard to think so). when you have a petrol leak onto the rear tires drifting is so easy, you can hold the tail out at 30k dosent amke any noise either. Been there! Drifted a roundabout unexpectedly at about 20km/h in the dry. WTF! stopped, checked, petrol leak all over rear tyres and dripping onto hot exhaust...
