handling...

I found it! the mysterious point at which the MR2 switches from mild understeer to remarkable oversteer. And when I say 'switches' I mean 'like a lightbulb'. One moment you're zipping around a tight motorway onramp with the front pushing a little wide, the next you're a passenger on a wild fun-fair ride, trying to think fast enough to prevent the back wheels from overtaking the front. Thank god for quick steering and plenty of practice with the throttle over the last week. And wide onramps.

Lets not do that again.

Mine is irritatingly sudden in the way it goes from taking a corner quite happily to drifting into the opposite lane without warning. After having driven it a few years I don't get that happening to me much any more.
