[grumpy52]

How many PH'ers under say 35 have never owned a RWD car ?

[Chrisw666]

Sorry I thought you said ever not never.

Wouldn't this be better as a poll??

Under 35? Probably lots, since that could mean they were 17 and thus unlikely to be able to insure most RWD cars

Over 35? None. If you're over 35 and never owned a RWD car you are a PH fraud

Bit slow off the mark, I was nearly 22 before I had my first RWD road car...

37 and never owned a RWD car

I seem to a) keep my cars ages and b) always owned FWD Hatchbacks..

Astra GTE, Pug205 1.9 GTi,Golf GTi Mk3, Golf GTi Mk4, Civic Type-R

For fear of seeing my rear overtake me my next car will have to be 4WD.. thinking Audi S3

• EDIT*

does lift off oversteer in the type-R count? :lol:

[paulrhodes]

I think I've owned all incarnations now.

Tell I lie, I've never owned a RR...

[300bhp/ton]

I'm 30 and

AWD - RWD - RWD - RWD - RWD - RWD & FWD - RWD - RWD - RWD & FWD - AWD then I get a bit lost from there on.

Only had a few fwd'ers. Most have been rwd drive.

Current fleet is 4 rwd coupes, 1 AWD Land Rover and a Jeep which can be either RWD or AWD. Think I've only owned a couple of fwd cars (MG 2.0 EFI, Orion Ghia, Pug 106) for any length of time.

No

It's time you grew up - forget the S3 with it's pretend 4wd, you need something with rear drive and a proper mechanical limited slip diff

[Negative Creep]

I think 9 of my 23 have been rear drive. I do have a plan to have owned every mainstream engine configuration but havent done very well thus far

Hi All!

Sorry to cross post, I am lost!!*&%.

Just joined this forum and having had a brief wander round, I can't find a button to click in general gassing that creates a new thread or topic.

Any advice please?

Best wishes,
Jim

Also the bit I've bolded, no idea what you are on about?.

[OdramaSwimLaden]

Hasn't everyone. It just depends if you're driving forwards or backwards at the time?

[sjg]

Driven plenty, never bothered owning one (because it would mean buying a BMW and I don't like them that much). I'm 31.

edit: most likely because I've always had hatches (except for one estate) because I carry things like mountain bikes about. There are a only a few RWD estates (and even fewer RWD hatches), but vast numbers of FWD hatches to choose from.

I was wondering how long until the art of driving rwd will fade ,I'm lucky only in recent times have I not had a rwd tucked in the lock up . I tend to ask under 35's the question most have never driven rwd,an alarming amount don't know what they have !!
