The diff controls are found in the C-Diff menu. They should call the entertainment system "E-Coli" ...

Bloody loving this thing ...

It tends to generate "interest" from other fast stuff on the road but I haven't been embarrassed by anything yet. However, that's not counting an encounter with a Tesla S coming back from Perth at the weekend. Side by side at the head of the queue joining Broxden roundabout and I really didn't expect him to go for it. The Tesla is a big old unit but fook me, he was blisteringly (and noiselessly!) quick off the mark and would have had me no problem had we not been taking different exits. Off to look up its "top trump" stats ...

EDIT: Sub 3 seconds 0-60 so too rich for my blood ...

Electric cars are quick off the mark. An I3 had a go at me in the M3 and was quick enough to warrant a good launch

Here it is outside my flat against the opposition.

You should drift around that oval

Very sorry to hear about the passing of your mum.

But the car - Very nice David, I like it!

Just refrain from participating in the red light grand prix . A milk float will beat you.
