Anyway, the VdP ADO16 was never anywhere NEAR as amusing as the VdP
1500... The posh Allegro.


The Allegro was amusing just by being an Allegro. Which bozo thought of
having a square ("quartic") steering wheel, given that the whole point of a
steering wheel is that it is circular and rotates about its centre so it
feeds easily through your hands as you turn it. Any "lumps" in the circle
make this very difficult.


Tell that to Lewis Hamilton!

Only drivers who follow learner instruction slavishly, or who have
steering with no power assistance on a low ratio rack or box, 'feed the
wheel through their hands' . Its a technique designed so that stupid
noobs never let go of the wheel.


Racing drivers cross their arms over on tight corners.
