    ABS- Good or Bad

    I would agree with Weyland and TB1, ABS is my get out of jail free card, i would say i have had a good drive, eg across snake pass, if i had manged to avoid it activating during the drive, by using judgement or cadence braking where necessary to avoid having to brake and steer at the same time...

    BMW E36 M3

    Dont take that too seriously, I just love a good motor, and the valver in my household is becoming a 172 in Jan simply cos that motor is the best £11K any person could spend on a car.

    BMW E36 M3
