I dont think you are. (preaching to the converted)

There are people who would say that 4wd provides a safe haven for people who cant drive. You can cane it and it will keep gripping, until it stops gripping, and then your in royal understeer death?

Learn to drive a powerful RWD car in winter conditions, and you will have mastered driving so much more than people that get discount insurance because of their "pass plus"

Like I said furter up, depends on your 4x4 system. If I push mine too har after the apex it will oversteer. You work it like RWD then as the car is operating primarily as a RWD car. However, it will lock the centre diff and shove more up the front to help correct the skid.

Go too fast in and it'll, like most cars, understeer. However, you treat it like a FWD in this case.

However, when it stops gripping? Brown trousers 4 wheel drifting death.If I was a passenger with one of those people that just pushes cars till they crash, I'd prefer it to be the 2WD equivilent.

I'm not 100% on the contents of the pass plus course so I can't really say. However, I understand it's aimed at road safety. You have to agree it's fairly simple handling a powerfull RWD car in adverse conditions more safely, just don't use the power.

@ trying to get the cars out of the hotel garage!

haha, yeah that was HILARIOUS. Especially in the tiny little narrow street with all the people driving their crappy Smart cars and mopeds!. The guy in the Audi behind didn't seem too happy.

Edit: and the burberry camera filter!

[Dark Horse]

I recorded it but it stopped halfway through, was gutted!

It stopped as he said Ladyman's time, 1.48....

What happened next?

[nichomach]

Clarkson informed Ladyman that, by the way, he owed the programme £60. Yes, they'd stuck a GATSO halfway round the track...very, very funny

[dkmech]

They won an Emmy as well. I'd like to see 5th gear try and beat that

[zhenboy]

5th Gear?! They wont even get close to an Emmy!!!

[Gordy]

I can't believe they won the emmy that says a lot about the popularity and class of TG.

Have to say they get better each week. The banter between the presenters is real not the drivel the 5th gear team try.

Did anyone else hear Clarkson mention tiff needell hehe

[zhenboy]

Yes he said Tiff Loved the SLK 55AMG ... lol

I think its a sexy car lol...
