RE: Manual Steering?

[Richard Brake <richard.brake@domain.elided>]

I must dispute that; 

Manual steering on a 1970 MkII 2.5PI  Estate with Lowered springs,
Poly-urethane bushes, Petrol Injecttion and
15" Mini-Lite's (replicas) is fun and upsets a lot of modern cars on
motorways and out handles them on country lanes.

I could claim 105mph+ fully laden with Rock Band gear (Amps, speakers,
etc...) on the A31. But that would be breaking the law so I wont.

	Hi Kevin

	The Stag is an absolute pig without power steering.

	Its lighter brother the 2000/2.5 MKII saloon is bad without
power steering
	(early UK specification) and does not have the Stags front end
weight.  In
	any eventthe geometry of the Stag is wierd, it looks as though
they
	designed an lot of KPI and castor into the Stag to try to give
the power
	steering some feel.  Without success.

	Consequently, without power both cars steer like the Queen Mary
(tethered
	in Long Beach).
