does it go sideways? or is it too heavy?

todays events on picking it up
drove throu wales with lots of mountains etc and a lake 
well cool i wanna live there 
then got to the car,
started it up fired and ran smooth ace 
opened bonnet, pissing coolent out
bodged split pipe with duct tape 
filled with water
checked lights etc all good
pumped tyres up
and started to drive away, first corner i dabbed the brakes
FUCK, brakes are totalled 
got to petrol station filled with texaco RIP OFF fuel and then spent the next 2 hours driving at no faster than 50 as the steering shook and through mountainous country with no brakes 
all in all was fun

havent tested it yet as the brakes do sod all 
has full lsd i think too 
so skinny tyres and a wet tarmac will see it sideways
possibly into a tree but fuck it, it deserves to go out with style
