Is that like a Merryers Manx but less lysdexic?
De Dion suspension. Kind of a weird middle-ground between a live axle and IRS. Unusual, but it has a pretty good pedigree.
I wonder which organs I could sell to purchase this..
I'd love to take this to the local Meineke/Pep Boys/whatever and say "I think the rear brakes need replacing" then watch the 19-year-old kid take the wheels off and get really confused... The Google says that this is what the Alfetta looks like if you look up her skirt. It's beautiful and terrifying. Yes, those *are*…
Several times back when I was maybe 17-18? Minor offs similar to this, but always on a country road, not in a built up area. But despite my protestations as the dust was settling it was entirely driver error and I realised that when I calmed down (and my mates called me a cock - quite rightly). I didn't make up some…
Yes. It was very long, very detailed and very bullshit. Everyone else there figured out how to leave the parking lot without getting air over the center median. It just isn't that hard unless you're a tool or an idiot. In either case, someone should get that guy a bus pass.

I am a high performance driving instructor and a race car engineer. Does that count? Because it should.
Yeah, I don't buy that load of crap. I've been to racing schools and hold a competition license, and I've driven high powered AWD/FWD/RWD drivetrains. I don't care how much time you spend driving a mistake-covering AWD Audi, one of the most highly emphasized skills taught at racing school is being smooth. Gradual…
Sort of like when someone's describing an accident where they're clearly at fault. "Suddenly, my car crashed into that other car."
Well, he's correct though, this IS one of the reasons meets like this are being shut down, and as for childish? No more childish than the driver of that BMW who blames his car when HE fucked up.
Also, analog tire gauges are dangerous!
I like how he says "the accelerator was pushed" as though he wasn't the idiot who pushed it.
Why did he turn?
Even if you primarily do other forms of racing, autocross can be a great place to shake down a car. You get to…
