Slow gear changes; obviously your car is a monster, I'd love to feel what it's like first hand.

However, driving a mere 205 1.9 can reward in ways 600+ bhp can't.

This is true... I cut my teeth with hot hatch backs, and there is a lot to be said fo rfun below 80mph.

Things get real fast and real scary really quickly this car now - and I would rather not go home all wadded up on wrecker so I tend to be less aggressive with it now, compared to how I used sling it around.
