4x4 ones don't feel much different except that if it all starts going wrong on a corner, putting your boot down usually sorts it out. Took me a while to get brave enough to work that out though. :S

Wow that's cool, and I am guessing this classic department is in Koeln? If so then it is literally 5 mins by bike from my apartment!

It is indeed. But it's part of their regular factory area and not a public place.
If you wanna have a closer look to that experience you should check out my website.

I thought it would be. I was in the factory one time for an interview and they had a really cool fiesta display in part of it. Do you have a link for your website?

Of course I do. www.forloveandglory.comI guess sometimes they let some people take a sneak peek. It's a pretty nice workshop with a stunning selection of cars. |

Had loads over the years, they used to be dirt cheap, my cousins black one, with my silver one behind it. My one had been converted to Efi using granny parts and fitted with a LSD from a 4x4, my cousins tended to look better but mine went better.  plus one of the many rotten spares cars we got through.  |
