I used to use what we call a "rat run" through to the M1 motorway,
pretty nearly every week.  It goes through over a dozen tiny villages
on roads that are surfaced but sometimes only single track and very
twisty.

I got it down to a fine art in a RWD Ford Granada, and could hit the
M1 in 25 minutes from leaving home.

When I bought the MB, I expected great things from the handling - but
on the first trip I found it really hard work and not at all what I
was expecting.  By the end of the trip, I was wondering whether I'd
done the right thing.

Then I noticed I'd knocked seven minutes off the time.
