Forgot to say the 1957 Beetle had 130,000 miles on the clock when I bought it. Still everything original and working.

Lift off over-steer is far more preferable/manageable than terminal under-steer.... my good tyres always go on the front.

Just for you P6:



Herbie is now in his new (temporary) home nestled up with my friend’s 1980’s Yamaha motorbike, classic Range Rover and a pushbike!
Apparently goes very well so must’ve been well loved.

Agree entirely. Lift off oversteer lets you point the car back in the direction it needs to go.
Can’t do much with understeer- except slow the car right down
