6 wheeler ForTwo pickup (Yes really!!)

Re: 6 wheeler ForTwo pickup (Yes really!!)

The VX220 is quite hard to maintain oversteer, with its skinny front tyres. They need a proper geo setup to sort them out!

i always seemed to manage

the TVR next to me round the........erm.....race circuit bend......was quite shocked to see me coming past on the outside!

Even in the extremely unlikely event of it possessing such, the inherent castor will still cause it to push the nose wide. Christ, fortwos understeer badly enough with just 2 axles!

I think Thrumbleux may have just missed the point a tad....

Yeah, the lift-off oversteer is pretty terrifying in the Smart,

WTF did I mention lift-off oversteer?

As for the 6 wheel fortwos, they are a good fortwo wasted. Want a pick-up then buy a pick-up.

If ever I'm heard talking about embarking on such a pointless exercise please remind me that I could, and should, instead, donate my time for free to a local hospital as a porter. Or just take me outside and shoot me...

I like it, shows what someone can do in their eyes to make it different, some put different alloys on their car some change the lights, we all have different views and im impressed with the amount of work involved, not picking holes in how it handle or over/understeer, after all if you can critise, then you do better

i dread to meet thrumbeux at any forthcoming shows and him seeing my smart roll up.......

Which vx220 do you have?

I'll bet the TVR wasnt trying... :-D (Or he had backed off cos something was about to break) (yes im a chimaera owner!)

Re: 6 wheeler ForTwo pickup (Yes really!!)

just the n/a 2.2

it was a tight curve and i had the outside line. we were both going sideways but controlling the power on the TVR 350C was much harder than in the xv220

of course on the straight once the power was applied it was by by time!! but the back of it looked lovely!

still caught up under braking
