What's the first car you all got wicked oversteer in??

Mine was a 3 Litre Sport Capri - cost me £250 and did stoooopid things on roundabouts... then had 2 GTE Mantas that were equally as hooliganish round corners... Ahh those were the days... Mantas and Capri 2.8's and 3Litre Sports. Also had a 1600 Escort Sport MKII and it was great

Bloody mal-adjusted front wheel drive shite nowadays.. previous to my deadZed I had a Carlton GSI3000.. marvellous beastie.. A proper car.. lots of BHP and driven by the rear wheels

Oh well.. just reminising..

Peace and no safety boozt.

I used to have lots of sideways fun in a Manta GTE (girlfriends car). Not had any other rear wheel drive cars through (except one I'm not prepared to discuss).

 

The mention of a 3.0 Capri brings back a few memories though, a mate of mine had one when we would have been about 20. Loadsa bad handling fun. Interesting to see how cars have moved on though. The old Crapi was 3 litre, about 150bhp and did 18mpg. A few years later a similar engine a Z produces 300bhp and the car does 20mpg - that's progress !

Ah yes those were the days.

I too had a Manta GTE and I have never had the back end out as much since.

In fact I had 2 but the first one got nicked and thrashed to death.

Those cars won loads of rallies until the mighty Audi Quattro's came on the scene.

Learnt my bad habbits in a 2.5pi Triumph spitfire custom j-cloth thith a straight 6, then formula cart, then I was persuaded to race on two wheels untill the enevitable happend:-0 still cant sleep some nights!

In airports I set of alarms in me boxers,(no not a metal todger).

Adds tension to a security guards day I suppose!

But over steer was the Monza GSE too big, too heavy, went like armegedon though, & ate tyres like a donkey on acid, if it made it round the corner that is. Oh how things have progerssed from the cars we once owned.

Hehe Mantas were cool in a cranky-no-heater-whiney-getrag-gearbox sorta way

My brothers girlfriend has an Exclusive Irmscher GTE in storage, and if *anyone* suggests she sells it, she would kill them stone dead with a pool cue.

What about a rover V8 in the back of mini pickup?? mad as a donkey after he's eaten the tyre and the 'cid has worn off

 

I'll shut up now and let everyone get back to the serious bizniss of chatting about Zedz

 

Peace and super-pursuit mode to ya all..

A mate of mine had a blue Vauxhall Chevette which we decided looked too girlie in blue so we painted it with car underbody paint (the bitumen type stuff where you can hold the paint tin upside-down and it still doesn't come out). Still deciding it was lacking something we drove up and down some dirt tracks before the paint was dry so the mud would permanently stick to it.

Anyway, the car had some good, grippy tyres on the front and the cheapest, least grippy, half-chewed by a donkey on acid tyres we could find on the rear. It was the most fun I've had around roundabouts since discovering a diesel covered roundabout in a Westfield :) :) - I had to stop eventually as I was getting too dizzy.
