Hi Phil
And the driver probably knew nothing about Seven steering arms!
As I have recounted before, when I ran my car as everyday transport one of my mates used to career about on a motor bike at speeds well beyond the limit. But in a short drive in the Austin his nerve quit at about 40 mph.
Those who have driven Sevens briskly and extensively subconsciously adapt to the idiosyncratic handling.
Again, my son and mates as testosterone laden Venturer scouts attended an indoor go kart track. But much to their annoyance and puzzlement ancient retired me managed the fastest lap. I had to explain that I spent my formative years driving a Seven. Conservation of momentum is the secret with low power karts on tight tracks.
