1000 miles since mid September and 1 month on holiday. Planned use 1500 -1750 by Christmas
Using it too much,2300 miles,the traction control on our autumn roads is unreal,a quick wag of the tail and then as straight as an arrow.I hope i dont get too confidant and get caught out.I would really like to know how the german car hit the barriers on a straight road as i dont think it was because he fell asleep?????

I did ask Simon Andrew about that incident and he did reckon it was power-induced, even in a straight line. Who knows, perhaps some oil or coolant spilled on the road surface. :( Enjoy but be careful andy!!

Couple of things come to mind ! was it a Slippery road ??, traction control off ?? or a distinct lack of talent ??. My bet is with option #3. not all Germans are Vettal by a long shot, even if they think they are. I think most cars of this caliber are crashed because of option #3:(

You know the Germans, travel in 150 mph convoys with a total belief in stability management...........first car brakes like sh.t, second car brakes like double sh.t, third car driver sh.ts and fourth car has no chance.
