hey,
So guys that live in Adelaide would have seen the rather extreme weather yesterday. I was on my way to work when a tree the size of a bus with a trunk easily 1 meter in diameter blew across the road. At the time i was doing 100km, ground was heavy with water. I hit the brakes and turned to avoid the tree, Traction control worked exactly as it should have. Usally i complain that my TC kicks in too soon at low speed. steering was magical car felt comfortable side ways. At almost full opposite lock and when I needed to get the power back on to control the slide and steered to point the car back towards the road the TC allowed it. I think that if i had been driving my old car i would surely have been killed. I wish I had video footage because to be honest it would have looked like the sweetest drift manoeuvre. So god bless the guys at ford. |
