Yeah, but even then a beauty-bark-brown, 2 door, bench seat, six cylinder, three-on-the-tree, '59 Rambler American was NOT an exciting car.

(I will admit, though, that I was utterly amazed by the calmness of the instructor - he MUST have been on some truly industrial strength meds...)

I finally looked at the justdrive site and am impressed with the way the training is set out. Looks like a more professionally run operation than many. Alex.

Does the xB work out well as a 'trainer?' How do the students like it? How do YOU like it?

(Still think that's probably the best looking trainer I've seen yet. :D )

the Dynamic Ride can be a problem, so I might change it out with a Coilover system with resivoir system (ohlins), but the engine is rock solid, and the turbo/intercooler system is under utilized (car could sustain 600+hp) so no prob there. and everything else is bullit proof Audi, but I did have to do a tie rod/control arm sway bar end link swap ($1300.00) but every audi need that done

words cant discribe it, sounds a bit like a 4cam corvette, or a 32V porsche 928s4....with open pipes, the turbos quiet it down a bit, but small children weep when I go by under full load
