She’s a beauty, the Cibies complement the look! It’s a shame cities are starting to outlaw older cars (pre-Euro 3) over here, or I’d be driving a Fulvia right now.

Hnnng, 900 Turbo...

Check the Auto Bild winter tyre test: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2017-Auto-Bild-Winter-Tyre-Test.htm 
As long as it’s dry outside and not too far below freezing, a summer tyre outhandles a winter tyre. If you have the grip for braking, you have it for cornering as well. That’s not to say grip levels don’t…

This. I was taught the 2 second rule in driver’s ed: leave 2 seconds of space to the car in front of you, so you have enough time to react. I recently took an advanced driving course however, where they mentioned the 3 second rule: 2 seconds to react to what’s happening in front of you, plus one second of margin to…

A110: brap, brap, brap

The official French name is even better: Turbotrain (à Grande Vitesse)!

To be honest, train and très do sound alike, in some accents even more so. The Dutch Wikipedia page on TGV also mentions the Très Grande Vitesse, but doesn’t provide a source.

TGV = Train à Grande Vitesse
“Un fait divers” is generally used for non-classifiable news items, i.e. the short bits of news in the margin, which makes it a disrespectful way of refering to the event.

Not in Europe. We go from the 1.5 TSI (1.4 previously) straight to the GTI.

Solid front light (and perhaps a small strobe) at night, high-powered strobe during the day.

“Turning into the slide”actually means turning into the direction your rear end is sliding, i.e. opposite lock (you slide left, so you turn left). On the other hand, I share your confusion regarding the original statement, and thought waetherman meant you should spin around instead of attempting a save.

In both cases you should turn into the slide (which, despite all confusion in this thread, means turning into the direction your rear end is sliding). With FWD you can apply a bit of power to stabilise your car (pull yourself out of the slip as it were), but it’s easy to overdo this and overwhelm the front tires, as…

Imagine what you could do with it though: turbo kit, fender flares, ducktail spoiler, scissor doors. Never has beige had this much potential.

Underground 2 takes the cake for me, but that might have something to do with the lack of cops. I know they’re generally seen as a staple of NFS, but I preferred racing and cruising around without running the risk of getting caught up in an arbitrary chase. The soundtrack and ridiculous modifications (you should…

I want it in one of these (including manual/sequential swap):

The Oblivion intro cinematic still gives me goosebumps.
