As boardroom-wall-motivational-poster slogans go, FOTC will admit this doesn’t have quite the go-get-’em-tiger zing, of, say, “if you can dream it, you can do it”, or “life begins at the end of your comfort zone”.

Because, yes, a car with an extra axle up front has its hypothetical merits: more grip, more braking force, less chance of a massive tank-slapper in the event of a front tyre blowout, 50 per cent more sick rimz to show off to your mates in the Halfords car park.
