front wheel drive

[Latchie_3.0v6]

why does anyone bother, ive had a golf now for around 2 months and it is driving me mental, especially in the wet in corners, at least in a rwd you can have a bit of craic.
I like to drive hard and i hate understeer nearly be afraid to shoe her on in the wet incase i go around a corner to hard and go straight into a hedge.

RWD WITH LSD IS THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE *FACT*

On the wee Irish country roads I quite agree.On the overcrowded highways and byways of south east England,it doesnt really make much difference.A pushbike would be quicker most of the time.

Trouble is though with country lanes you can't see whats around the bend...

2.3, 16 valves. 135bhp standard,but if you added twin 48 dellorto,s,blydenstein tubular fanimold and luminition electronic ignition you had around 180bhp in 950kg,s iirc.whch was seriously quick in the late 70,s. I could have bought a house with what I spent on it,but what does a 19 year old want with a house ?
