Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:21 amThose of a numerate disposition will see it has 8 wheels and 4 on the trailer. Single wheels looked mean. The damping and suspension is by compression plank and the steering is very direct. Lateral location for the driver is very poor but the tyres look unlikely to generate much lateral g. It`s no-wheel drive and lacking in power.

Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 11:25 pmI have the power unit to hand (sleepover) but the two are yet to be united. Another month (and a day) and we`ll see how she handles. I was out perambulating today hoping to fall into conversation with some yummy mummies but only met grannies. I had the hood up `cos it was chilly.
