Chuckability

And what I have not mentioned was the surface and condition of tyres.

Surely that doesn't matter? If it is worse conditions you slow down as appropriate so you don't get those things happening. Same with the condition of tyres, if they arn't the best, slow down.

No, dried dirt on the road.

Only doing about 35 mph around reasonable corners.

My mate in his MK1 Golf GTi was well off into the distance at speeds of 50mph+ a corner...

I was only checking for body roll, you can do that on an island at 20mph.
 
I think we need to give digitalwolf a bit of a break here.

Finding out the chuckability of a MINI really is low on the teenage driver offence list, in my opinion. Many more dangerous things happen daily.

On the odd ocassion car parks can actually have some reasonably talented drivers in them. Last night, for example, I popped in to the local services and was treated to a display of 2x E30 and 1x E34 BMW's drifting about all over the place with some significant skill!

Mine is eminently chuckable. Lower, wider track, harder suspension and better feedback than the slightly more sedate brethren, the 172, it really makes a difference in 'the twisties'. I'd eat Scoobs and **** 306 GTi's ;)

My mate raves about the 172, especially the cup.

I know they are like poo off a shovel and renault sport have a knack of making cars stick to the road well.

The standard clio handles well tbh.

At insurance group something silly, it's certainly one for a couple of years time.

306 GTi's are not as chuckable as the standard 172 are they? I thought the back end had a knack of "stepping out" on the 306 GTi. :eek:

It was a friendly dig at the bloke further up that seems to think the 306 would be good through the twisties. It might be OK but the front end gets pretty light at any kind of speed so I wouldn't have thought it was.
