 Anyone who has seen Rich's elegently coiffeured form will realise he's
speaking from experience. My 'barber' (don't confuse the two!) has a MK1
Golf GTi. He used to have both a Vitesse (a while ago) and more recently
a Capri 2.8i . The capri rendered itself immortal in bangor folklore by
performing a 360 degree pirouette from a standing start by the train
station! My old spit nearly managed the same feat (from a standing
start) in only slightly damp weather. The road is frequently used by
buses and taxi's and I suppose equates to 'The hurtler' (copyright)! The
look on the faces of those waiting for a bus (in the firing line as it
were) can be priceless......:-)
