you've never tried running a 4x4 cosworth up the strip then.

takes a few goes to get the launch just right:

get a spot on 100% boosted launch.............keeps gripping..........reaching 6000rpm..........grab the leaver.............wont go into second!!!

infuriating is an understatement

Yeh i read it.

At the end of the day there old cars with old technology so there are gonna be silly design faults compared to modern car.

I laughed at some of the comments, the one where the person says about people calling them cossies.

Its just the same as the divvys calling subarus scoobys.
