Fun to watch though, shows its flat corning from inside quite nice.

It actually seemed quite sedate to me. Or maybe I'm a crazy driver! :oops:

So what's the point of the clip? :-s

We've got their word that a red Saab 'raced' them when likely he exited off
that roundabout at a different exit anyway...

can't be a V6 either! :twisted: :P :lol:

Sound card is dead. :P

I made my comments based on how the car was being positioned on that road - for minimum loss of speed rather than regard for the marker lines.

It would certainly be suicidal on a hedged country lane in the UK, but isn't the
Netherlands flat with visibility for miles in all directions? If you can see the
road is clear and IT IS SAFE TO DO SO, I can't see how straightening the
curves isn't driving with disregard for others but you're going to look a 'bit' silly
when something goes wrong and it all loses the plot.

The tyre squeal is a bit disconcerting yet it doesn't look THAT fast.

Ive had the tyres squealing on the mrs activa before, private roads of course. Id like to try a good set of road legal slicks on an activa i.e toyo r888 or similar to see how much difference it makes.
