You might know the answer to a long time mystery...I was too young to be able to have a look at it myself and never found out what the problem was.
My uncle owned a brand new VF auto and every now and then the thing would spin out !
I witnessed it once when we were coming back from somewhere and mum and dad were following the uncle and aunt. We were in traffic leaving a 35mph zone ...no acceleration because of the traffic and the Valiant did a perfect 180 without crossing the road centerline.
Dad even had time to pull up behind him off to the left. The road was dry. Have you heard of this happening in the VFs.....The uncle ended up getting another car.
