I can't decide whether the driver is understeering into the cones or oversteering out of gate of them. He sure as hell ain't going to weave round them, that's for sure!  ;D

Ah, back when ads were ridiculous nonsense littered with sexist comments and utterly bonkers claims.  Like the Subaru GL Coupe ad.

In Liverpool, they were 'self disappearing'. It soon caught on with other models.
