I don't know what "Tatra-like" is because I don't know much about Tatras, but if it means turning the front wheels wouldn't change your direction of travel under acceleration, then yeah, that's what I was fearing.

At this point, I don't even know what I'm gonna do with the thing. 30 years ago, getting it going was all I could think about & what I spent all my spare time on. Now I don't hardly even think about it, even though I see it whenever I look out the back window. I thought about trying to sell it, but I don't know if I could even get enough for it to make it worthwhile. In the meantime, the '66 Corsa engine is an antique, and at the rate I'm going, the whole thing will be! HAH!! Guess I should try to finish it & get it on the road, but just seem to lack the ambition. - so it goes -
