Nope. Nor is having the right driven wheels or gearbox.

Watching you was like like watching my mum in Tesco car park

Genuinely don't think I could have picked a worse car for autotesting. Even the jag would have been better (if a tad more fragile). That said, it was still rather a lot of fun, both for me and my spectators

Next time bring the Jag and do it sideways...I'll show you how

Sounds like me at the Autosolo at Castle Coombe. Turns out the Alfa was a bit less agile than my Arosa. Compounded by the fact I had never driven it in anger before and only covered about 150 (mostly motorway) miles. Screeching, smoking tyres and getting lost on the first run were all part of the fun, as was being slower than a Ford S-Max. I still beat GT Kodiak in his RX7 :P

Well I could definitely challenge for best in class.....

Well, as of yesterday I'm the new owner of R443 PEL so hopefully it'll provide me with as much fun as it did James. Here it is on my drive - first task is to respray those wheels!

Look after it for me Matt, and make sure to do plenty more of this;
