Auto Express pcoty 2011

Re: Auto Express pcoty 2011
Always get's me that they seem to rave about rear wheel drive cars on the track as being the holy grail of driving but in the real world on the wet and snowy britsh roads you very rarely get to use all the power effectively in a rear wheel drive car. Do these jernos all think we live in the Algarves
I have been very tempted last year to get the AMG C63 after testing it at MB world track and was very nearly at the point of buying one but then my head kicked in and decided not to as i know i would have to get another motor for the winter as i live in the Scottish country side and that at some point just a mater of time i would have a complete talent failure and end up in a ditch so 4x4 is for me the best all round set up ing the UK you can get unless you have the money and the space for a few cars
