I do love the fact that the BBC are making it very clear to distance themselves from the BBC Studios who were engaged in the event. Might be a few historic things that they want to compare to that situation that they have yet to own up to publicly.
Fifth Gear managed to get a previous version M3W up to two wheels on TV many moons ago. They recovered it and continued but I suspect the colour of the day may have been beige. That was using a higher grade of professional driver of course, also one not known for being more interested in publicity than reality.
Not so long ago they also put the "new" Citreon AMI electric quadricycle up on two wheels as well. That's a four wheeler. It is not down to power as it has none. So we can see why nanny wants cars to have stability control. [video:youtube][/video]
We should own the right to power it off given we pay for it and the customer ought to be right, or at least decide if they want to be culpable for what they run into. If you switch it off the black box shows that and you have no one to sue. You on the other hand are likely to be sued?
Every time someone invents a more idiot proof system we find out where the best idiots hide.
I have had track days where I got to play with some excellent cars and still had them pointing the wrong way. Practice, practice, practice.
I guess one thing that may happen that I had not considered with this BEV thing - less diesel cars means less teflon road patches at junctions etc.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
