Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

1952 Morris Minor.

918cc sidevalve engine, vaccum wipers, semaphore indicators, no radio, no heater.

Cost me £50 - 10 weeks wages, petrol was 4s 11 a gallon (25p a gallon or 5.5p /litre ..

Kept it for 6 months then sold it for £65 and bought a 1954 Ford Consol for £60 .... simply becuse I "prefered" the bench front seat, column gear change, and the heater ...  :) (I leave you to ponder why ......  :)  )
