The only corners you can truly cane it on are the ones you can see around, or any on a track!

:clown:


im not saying i completely cut the whole corner or anything.....but if someone cuts up a fair amount of the road and hes only half a second in front of you, and you can see and hear one or more of other cars infront of you, (the time hes gone around the corner, its effectively not a blind corner anymore as hes gone and copied the guy infront of him) i would have said it was pretty safe to asume theres nothing coming....im certainly not saying i do this on any normal road with the public driving....
think that makes sense.

Chris (LimeyMK1) said it was great follwoing my MK1 as he could tell be the exhaust noise whether to power out of the corner or not, apparently it was providing driving assistance!

It was very useful. :mrgreen: Nice to have a talkative car, the tubby's far too refined. I think there's a Nurspec for sale on E-bay Malcolm. :whistle: :lol:
