Some images of the runway i found on the net. You can see there just how wide it is! Apparentally its called RAF Bovingdon. Im trying to find infomation via Google but theres not a huge amount. It would help if i could find out who owns it and who to ring.

i have drove quite a few bora's, and i have found that they are quite unstable on corners.
But my mk4 golf gti is the same, i find there is to much lean and the back feels like it wants to 'snap out' all the time like you said.
My golf spun off a slip road at 60mph, lucky everything was ok just got covered in grass and mud, but i just put it down to diesel on the road as the corner i was going around was very slight, so i couldnt understand why it flew off the road, but there is something strange going on with the golf n bora suspension, i have to go round corners like an old granny then speed off lol.  :sad:
