    Not being rude, but.....

    Does it have the power to drift the back end?

    Only asking because looking out the side windows is the best way to drive a mk1 :)

    My dad had this one from just after i was born until when i was 16. Was scrapped just before my 17th birthday as the rear end of the chassis rotted away. He was gonna give me it for my first car too. :(
