I've read somewhere that the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 had a nasty issue in how it would always land wrong because of the transverse engine (e: it was more complicated than just bad weight balancing but I can't remember the details) e: and of course I can't find any gif of the T16 jumping hackbunny fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Sep 4, 2015 |
