Rwd is far and away a better driving experience compared to FWD, some cars are a bit twitchy in the wet like Bmw 3 series but driving a nicely balanced RWD car is a joy for any real car enthusiast.

Without a doubt I prefer rwd! I had a 528 that could do full throttle launch with no spin. ESP off. Mx5 are great fun, needs to be LSD though.

And think its down to driver in the snow. I never got stuck once in the 5 series in the snow. Going round stuck fwd cars sideways just rubbed salt in the wounds  :evil:

Unlucky lol I'm 26 and my first car was a 106gti and £35 would fill the tank. Insurance was £1000  :grin: was 8 years ago.

Oh and that was super unleaded at 83p per litre

Was easy back then with carbs.

No looms to cut and splice. No immobiliser and sh!tty sensors.

Just big carbed engines and a manual choke lol

Easy, but they were sh!t.
The fuelling was a guess, they would need tuning monthly, wouldn't run well in winter/summer, depending on which you jetted them for etc...
But boy, oh boy, did a set of 40/45 DCOEs sould good!  :grin:

I'm pleased carbs have gone.
You can now build a high revving, high compression engine on 45 ITBs that will take full throttle at 1500 RPM and pull to 9000+...try that on carbs.

I concur,  the twin 40's and 4 branch manifold sounded the nuts on my Vauxhall Nova GTE about 15years ago.
