PU; it sounds as though you were lucky to survive the ride then. There used to be a test driver at Jags called Ralph ------ who used to tell people that he was the bastard son of one of Britains premier Earls and if anyone complained that his car didn't perform very well they were invited to take a little trip with Ralph to try it out. An American complained about the performance of his Jaguar special racing trim, lightweight E Type and so was given a ride with Ralph who showed him how to drive around on two wheels! Apparently the guy came back as white as a sheet and didn't complain again. Nutty yes, but a brilliant driver all the same.
