Probably not. iirc the first one I saw was in Canada. I was following it 
and when we got to a crossroads he took a right without bothering to slow 
down. I almost killed myself with my first FWD car (Audi 100LS) but after 
figuring it out have gotten fairly good at twisty roads.

It was a hoot watching the Minis at the Limerock SCCA track. Like the 
Sevens the big Corvettes could run but they couldn't hide.
