Spider handling

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

On one of the few occasions I drove a Spider I learned that they oversteer. 
In second or third gear, I suspect second, through a rather enticing 
temporary S bend across a gap in the median due to a construction detour, I 
was driving my friend's spider with the LSD rear end, Spax shocks and an 
added rear anti roll bar. I would describe the handling as snap oversteer. 
The correction came automatically and was child's play to achieve, good 
thing since it came unexpectedly. I concur that the Spider tail steps out 
about 20 degrees without a whole lot of provocation, is easy to catch, and 
fun to drive. I guess one would get used to the very brief warning signs 
before the tail lets go, wouldn't one?

Cheers
