Yes I should apologise for the rather intemperate language.
As a traditional British sports car the 3W, ticks all the boxes apart from ease of maintenance. . For anything more demanding I think it will not reward the user with anything more than trouble.
The original compensators dont even stand up to use in the Harley's they were used in. How you would beef up the design is a mystery to me.
I have never understood the attraction of doing dougnuts or dumping the clutch drag style but each to their own I suppose. Top Gear has alot to answer for and I must say I dont miss it. It would be good to see more of James May doing somewhat more inteligent stuff however.
