Handling at Speed
Discussion
Now I know this is wrong but just put it down to the exuberance of new car ownership 
.
I was driving down the M40 the other day, about 21:30 just enjoying the ride at a licence saving 98mph. Foolishly I was driving in the reserved BMW only lane (the one on the right) and was duly flashed by a BMW owner, obviously outraged at the lack of German heritage of my car
.
I assumed that it must be a M3 for anyone to have the confidence to do such a potentially embarrassing move and decided to put my foot down to find out.... it was not an M3 and I left it for dead, but here is my question. When the car got to about 140-145 it seemed to handle as if the steering wheel were no longer connected to the rest of the car (i.e. constant steering correction and an incredible feeling of lightless). Now I assume that some of you guys do track days so I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the most likely cause of this would be. The cars running standard suspension on 18s with Toyos

, just having a go at the company car 318 owners who treat the outside lane like they are the Last of the Great Road Warriors....Doesn't look like anything has been knocked off.. I can't really tell...
