Is there a petrolhead in the house?

No theyre not.

They've said if you want your car to slide it needs to be turned off. I've said in a slide the car kangaroos around with it on. How is that different?

Tell you what let's get an Alfa 157 with ESP and well take it round a set course in say Milton Keynes and we'll do 2 circuits with it on and 2 with it off. After you can decide which set you preferred for ride quality.

It'll be the 2 with it off. Guaranteed.

A pedant writes: there's no such thing as an Alfa 157, so you could mean the 156, 147 or 159, but on the first two you can't disable VDC short of taking out the fuses. I don't know about the latter.

ok so you're up for a trip to MK in an alfa then cool lemme know when.

50mph average speed cameras all the way up the M1 and I could probably rinse out any of you on a roundabout in my micra. I think we are safe up here.

And ESP and stuff like that has been used on lorries for much longer than in cars. It's good to know what these systems do if you are going to use them though....eg if you pump ABS brakes you will land yourself in trouble.
