    Heh. Wetwang. Not sure if that is the right spelling but that is how you say it. Can't be far off.
    Trying to wheelie over crests gave me my first bins. So did trying to slide through a corner in the rain. Hedges, ya got love em.

    Anyhoo, back on topic.

    Surprised no one from christchurch has any stories about their huge bump out the back if the airport if I remember correctly (used to go over it years ago when we drove our van to chch for speedway meetings, got the van close to airborne under the speed limit, fully loaded with bikes and gear).

    I was watching a bit of rally before posting this thread... Hence the 'cresting' term. (anyway that would be 'touching cloth' or 'Prairie dogging')

    Love the old RWD starlets. Get a decent engine and suspension upgrade and have a light weight hatch that will handle well.
