Well, over here, American cars aren't exactly renowned for their cornering ability...

I've been hiding - making ends meet, touring, sleeping in the front seats of a merc sprinter round europe for 3 and a bit weeks... been pretty damn busy. Just getting back in to the swing of things... so expect me to hassle you some more!

It's all very well and good being as fast as a destoyer, but if you can't avoid the reef when you see the lighthouse, you're still scuppered! Get yourself an original Mini Cooper and do that up.... might be small, might not sound like a beast, but I promise you'll have fun!

Although, I do possibly admit to having a bit of a thing for VW Type2 split-screen 21-window deluxe SoCal style, with a Porsche 911 turbo engine/drive train/gearbox/brakes/suspension on some nice EMPI 5 spokes. They handle like a Blue Whale on barbituates.

I've owned a couple road handlers in the past,both American v/8's though.

Are we talking all-right-hand turn American Oval road handling, or European Street Circuit road handling

In all seriousness, I totally understand the appeal of the big old US cars... if I didn't live in Europe, I might even consider owning one... but hell, I can drive around my country about 5 times before you've even left your state, so it'd be entirely pointless on our narrow, winding, roads!

1979 Z/28 I ordered new and 2002 Mustang GT.Both were excellent handling cars.
