Brilliant - that's at Monthlery in France. Why do I get a funny feeling that Mr Health and Safety would have a word to say if it was over here ?:shock:

Mind you, Monthlery brings back memories to me :shock:I was driven round there by a mad French rally driver in a Citroen AX SuperProduction which had a 650HP mid mounted engine :shock::shock:

Scary stuff but worse was to come when he span it with me on the outside of the spin. Afterwards I could smell both petrol and burning :shock::shock:Unfortunately he didn't speak a word of English and I didn't speak a word of French.

We stopped shortly afterwards and it transpired that the spin had dislodged a fuel filler pipe in the rear wheel arch and it was rubbing against the tyre - hence the smell of burning.

Happy days Cheers

Seen previous footage of this, fantastic!

Bet he hasn't got a TV8 under the bonnet! Mind you, that's how I drive my Stag, I wondered why it was overheating a little.

And you thought it was the rear suspension shims that were causing the unusual tyre wear

PS

I tried a bit of the sideways in the Stag on Sunday on the way back from MOT in the rain

Hit a patch of Diesel:shock: on a round about and the back went:shock::shock:

Wife nearly got out and walked home ( yet again )

But my skill of handling brought the car safely back in control and on our way before my wife could get out

Sorry Giles it was not planned so no camera handy

used to compete in auto tests in minis and a mk1 Spitfire which often had the wheels tuck under even with negative camber rear spring and rear torsion bar

would like to do it again but not realy in the Stag

But her in doors keeps telling me to grow up and act my age
