...on the Toyos. More fun keeping you foot on the gas straight across the roundabout at 70-80.... Lots of 4 wheel drift.
Here's another...
A friend in St Albans built a Westfield a few years back. He used to use the roundabout at the bottom of the M10 coming towards Hemel as a bit of a benchmark. Carry as much speed as possible from the A414, round the roundabout, and onto the M10, and then accelerate as hard as you can through the gears until you measure your speed as you reach the 1st bridge over the M10 (this is coming towards Hemel) - a fairly good test of power, lateral (perceived) G, acceleration etc.
In his 2litre Westie he was quicker than me (just) round the round about, but I was hitting 110-115 by the bridge, where he was topping 90 (all about aerodynamics by then). Having said that, I never actually had the opportunity to do the roundabout as hard as possible (traffic). Another friend of mine (ex-membership secretary of the TVR OC) tried the same thing in his TVR 390 and span twice without hitting a thing as he came off the roundabout to join the M10...! The slip from the roundabout onto the M10 is quite tight.
I haven't tried the same in the Saab... Go and have a go - its a laugh - but preferably in the dark.....
