Re: Calm!?!?!

I was more annoyed about the fact that 'the' is spelt the and not 'teh'

BTW: 85 up a hill? i hope u had a big run up, my cinq struggles 85 on the flat

Hot tip!

When going for a fast uphill run, get everyone in the car to lean forward, it WILL make you go faster!

If you really know what you're doing you could move onto rocking backwards and forwards, though I wouldn't try this unless you have at least 10minutes previous driving experience.

Yeah, it seems to me like a dangerous thing to do, and did you ever consider the amount of load on the engine?

I cane the arse off my silver cinq every day, it's still going strong. It's like a loyal little puppy - "If that's what you want to do, master..."

They can take it, the only time you really need to worry about engine load is if you decide to run in the red for a long time or absolutely flat out for great distances. These little Fiat engines are quite robust.

oh, and don't cane them when cold either.
