    Yeh its good kit considering it's 1989 tech!! You can easily accelerate faster than you can brake if your not careful!!

    I can't even change settings to make it either more fun or more use.

    FWD & a solid handbrake! Every empty carpark is a ticket to much grinnage, it is indeed the simple things in life!

    I keep threatening to dig the Ford out. 2/3rds to the back with an LSD on the rear! Not only that, heated screen and washer jets. Winter? Bah!

    Subaru's 50/50 is most disappointing.

    The 335 now has more suitable footwear, otherwise I'll dig out the GT-Four.
    That thing is stunning in the snow, one downside though... Ground clearance! If I am not careful it does become a bit of a snowplough!

    My Quattro Sport has been very good in the snow & ice, certainly less entertaining than the 330ci! Not sure what the split is on a TT, though I would suspect it's more biased to the front wheels.
