Hi,

One neat thing about DCCD in a classic (no ABS), is using it when braking in a straight line. As you lock up the transmission, its harder to lock up all 4 wheels, rather than just the front 2. So you can stand it on its nose :-)


Dave.
hi Dave,the tyres really let it down at the moment,but once i get some stickier rubber that is defiantly something i will have to try !!

Lovely looking car there. I do love the 2 door scoobs.

I too test drove a P1 and was a bit underwhelmed.......maybe not the best idea to drive a 400bhp Evo on the way to the test drive though.

Always liked these type R models. Going to be on the lookout for a weekend toy next year and these are going to be very high up on the list.

Take care of her.
they are brilliant ! i highly recommend trying one, i have no intention of ever selling this to be honest ! never even been in an evo to be honest let alone driven one, something that is on the to do list for sure though smile
