I see no point in that.  I'm quite happy to accept that the Type 44
exhibits this behaviour - it was never intended as a rally car.

What I do object to is the instant dismissal of my input as
"subjective".  There ain't no opinions involved, believe me - I take
_every_ opportunity, when it's safe, of provoking the sort of thing
that's been seen on the Type 44.  I drove 300 miles in the ur-quattro
on Monday, and had two really good chances on large expanses of wet
tarmac with no one in sight for miles.

I'll keep trying.  But note that I'm being objective, not subjective.

'Subjective' is when someone who's never even _seen_ a car like mine
presumes to tell me how it handles.
