Some people like oneways in their cars - others, like your lad, don't. So, what one person likes isn't always good for others.

Your matt was faster with his bj4 anyway.

I don't personally think it is easy to adjust carl. Adjusting a slipper is more than turning a nut, its about checking it and getting the right setting. A lot of things you mention are from your perspective, and you don't race. Not everyone has a mechanic to rely on.

One of these threads pops up every couple of months, they usually go the way this one has with everyone suggesting whatever car they drive. Every car has things it's good and bad at, it's just a case of picking a car which suits you.

Thats the most important thing -that it suits your driving style - don't listen to the hype.
The things I consider important are performance, reliability, cost of spares and availability, how easy it is to work on and live with day to day.

what jimmy n richard are saying is true, if you can get hold of someone elses car and have a test drive. fare simpler and cheaper than swopping from car to car,youll find one out there, that suits you sir,
o and jimmy if you think mat was faster with his bj watch this space
you'll see him come on in leaps and bounds next year
so there blitttttthhhhhh nananana

Remember it's not all about the speed of the car, but the skill and consistency of the driver
