Should try the bonnet of a Jeep Grand Cherokee on a wind assist when trying to use it as a doner for jump starting.

Electric!!   ;D

Nope, a Passat on its way to the auction block....   :D

As was the Cherokee.  5.7 litre hemi?  Petrol??  Went well (in a straight line, forget it on the corners) but had a massive magnetic charm to fuel pumps, anytime it passed them....   ;D

That's interesting coming from you, means it is not just me, I found tight roundabouts where you are making quick opposite directional steering a pain, just seems to roll from one side to another but brilliant on a straight road......Reminds me a little of a Renault 4..... ::) :-\ :-\

Nah, you could make Renault 4's go round corners....as long as the three bolt steel wheels didn't fold under the weight!

Similar to a Citreon 2cv. I was driven (by an absolute lunatic)round Kirkistown racetrack at night in one of those contraptions. Never been so scared in my life. ;D

Never pushed it hard, nor had the need, so not sure whether it would loose traction and the back end go or would it roll over on a quick double bend with the wrong camber..... ??? ???
