    On standard size tyres the car gently four-wheel drifts round 50mph bends, that's why it's fun. Big fat tyres would ruin a beat, it would be all grip and no handling. What about aquaplaning on 205's?...

    1997 Elise 725Kg (It's made of plastic!)
    1991 Beat 760Kg

    0-60?

    My ford focus does 0-60mph quicker than a Beat, come to think of it, so does almost any other car on the road. If we were bothered about 0-60 we wouldn't buy Beats.
