Its not the going thats a problem its when you HAVE to emergency stop that gets ya!! Brakes are shite they lock up way to easy IMO resulting in you sliding down the road in a cloud of tire smoke :(

I run mud tyres and unless its icy or snow you have to try very hard to drift it,normal driving (like you nan) is fine.

I quite like the lively rear end:) More entertaining than a fwd dinner tray... Around my way there are a couple of back roads with a particularly smooth surface and she slides like a charm! Personal favourite is giving it the beans just upon exiting the corner and ending up with back end at a jaunty angle as I pull away:) Accidently did it with my mum in it the other day, worst bit was that all she had too say was "your not as good as your father was"... With a bit of practice, and a few brown trouser moments, it will become second nature:)
