I think you've just been a bit unlucky there.. I've been in loads of high speed "pursuits", pretty close at times, and
it's never been a problem. (yet!)

So the car had its finish wash and scrub up ready for the new owner to take her away… so here are the final photos within my ownership… didn't
go very far for the photoshoot, as once a car is sold and money has exchanged hands, I believe the car to be no longer mind and therefore will not
drive it.

Purposeful looking beast! Have you driven it yet, and what are the two "gear levers" on the floor?

Yes only driven it up and down the private road at Spire, and the induction noise of your brain being sucked out of your left ear is phenomenal
They are cockpit adjustable antiroll bars front & rear
Paddle shift will certainly teach me to keep both hands on the wheel eh

So I've been tinkering with the new car, and holding off posting about it due to it not being a yellowcab any more, but might still continue
updating with my progress anyway as I kinda enjoy documenting the journey.

I completely missed this part!
I keep meaning to put a thread up on her for her but where to start?! Plus I've been too busy offering diet advice to a certain chunky future
RGB racer She's already doing the rounds in my existing 114 page thread on another sites, so I'll decant the newer bits onto here and
start from there.

I would start a new thread about my Spire - but there isn't really anything that needs doing to it - so it'd be pretty boring lol
