Had one in the early 90's,a lovely Raider with blue wheels.It'd never start when hot and was lethal in the wet.Turbo lag was epic, pull off a roundabout onto a dualcarriageway and boot it,count to 3, the boost gauge shot round and it'd try to snatch the steering wheel out of your hands.If driving it hard, it could be a handfull if you were not aware if its foibles.Great fun if you were in the mood, a PIA if you weren't.It still holds the record for the quickest journey time to my mate's place in Cumbria in a friday night.Great memories, but I wouldn't have another.
