limits found

["brad" <bmuise@domain.elided>]

Hello alfistis:

First-time alfa owner here (86' spider veloce). Thanks to charley for
getting me into the digest. Just recently found the limits of my spider
today after fish-tailing into a turn at 40mph on dry asphalt...scared the
s**t out of me. Fortunately no one was in the immediate vicinity and I was
able to steer into the direction of the 20 degree spin - the vehicle
recovered quickly. I'm not proud of this event and now understand the
turning limits. (the car has been teasing me to turn harder into turns the
last two months I've owned it). Is this part of the learning curve? Can
others relate to this experience?

Nervous newbie
Brad
