......never tell a Dutchman on weed they'll go as quick backwards as they do forwards.

What do we learn from that? If you want to go backwards fast, don't do it in anything other than a Vario. How slow the "normal" cars were
I'm amazed Top Gear hasn't cottoned onto the idea yet, doing the same with MkIII 340s ...

did 50mph in reverse at a dead straight line in my cvt 340, scared the shit out of me when i lost control from minimal steering (car didn't flip but did spin), never did it again.
