Re: Classic hot hatches
I always wanted a 106 Rallye but I was sort of growing out of them by the time they were old enough for me to afford one second hand. My first fast car was a Mini 1275 GT with a bored out 1400cc which I built over a year following exactly the engine spec in 'tuning the A series engine by David Vizar...

Re: The most difficult aspect of Advanced Driving
As long as the finished product is where you want it to be, does it matter how you got there? I have a friend who has never had any additional training.

The most difficult aspect of Advanced Driving
When I did my course, the most difficult thing I found to learn was the approach to bends, getting the correct speed, completing all my braking, changing gear and then entering the corner at or around the correct speed. I became confident with limit points quite quickly, but found that judging a cor...
