Don't talk rubbish Nuse, in fact the road tyres had more grip back then. The were problems with combining lateral and longitudinal slip but on the whole it was still quite driveable. I got loaded up 0.3H a few weeks back and took the XRG out for a spin with one of my old sets, I was very surprised how well it handled, critical oversteer out of corners. Much fun.
Cars like the LX6 showed up the problems greatly and were horrid to drive.
