Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.

Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Just got a new wheel from Darran Moss @ Escort-Tec on Monday this week - very helpful chaps - and had a tyre put on it today ... have been running round with a scabby Lazer wheel since end August :(

 

All sorted now though :D
