Well Strider has let us down.
He's put up his video. It's him driving down a road, not even tailgating, as to fishtailing and getting it straight again, I didn't blink but I missed it. Can't even say it was scary enough to slow him down, as the car if front doesn't move away.
(Maybe you need to annotate it for us)
It's hard to see because the rear end went and the camera is mounted over the front end and with no visual reference points. You just see a twitch as if the camera turns slightly, the car is 4.5m long don't forget......He's got a second one up as well, he's overtaking without tailgating, or forcing anyone else over, not even on a blind bend.
He does have a pop at Ford drivers though, but saying as he hates everyone, even that's not extreme.
It wasn't me that started on Fords ;p“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

I've seen more of a twitch as a result of the driver farting or sneezing than what we saw in your video."You should know not to believe everything in media & polls by now !"

Ok genius, using simple maths then......
If the nose rotates/turns by 10 degree's and the car is 3 metre's long, then the back of the vehicle will move sideways by 0.5 metre's.
If the nose rotates/turns by 10 degree's and the car is 4.6 metre's long, then the back of the vehicle will move sideways by 0.80 metre's.
Does that make it any clearer for you?

There wasn't 10 degrees of movement there................except in your imagination."You should know not to believe everything in media & polls by now !"

About what fulcrum??
Have I missed something or has Stryder actually put up his video link on here??, I too would dearly like to see it, who knows, I may have to take it all back? (no no no no no.....)I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

(Still can't see it myself. Black ice to me is when all four wheels lose it, and possibly with a good view of the hedge that was next to you, now in front of the windscreen. Not one wheel twitching a bit, as it loses traction then rolls back onto tarmac before you even notice. I've aquaplaned more than that for fun)0 -

Ignore the "pointer"
Watch the bonnet line on the lhs of the car, between it and the wing. I can't actually see it deviate in relation to the verge.0 -

Oh, get it now, Stryder wobbles when faced with oncoming and it becomes a topic, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
Seriously that's what every other non Stryder deals with on a daily basis without tv coverage or multi analysis,
