I for one am in favour of the Nanny state of gizmo in cars.

For every "good" natural driver there are 10 incompentant nut jobs who should not be aloud near 35hp let alone 535bhp...

My Mondeo is almost a death trap in the wrong hands when driven hard, but due the traction control any mug can drive fast, in control..

I agree that TC is fine everyday use, but I maintain we should have the right to turn it off completely if we want to. Track days etc. etc

It's a Nanny culture and it doesn't just stop at Traction Control you'll find that over time it will invade all parts of our lives even parts we don't want it too.

It's the thin end of the wedge. :(

I would really love a Morgan Plus 8 Skruntie.
Not 200 mph fast ,but it has great charm and is still quick enough to see of spotty teenagers in a hot hatch. ;D ;D ;D

Nice Choice.   :y :y
