Great pics & vd, Easty. Is that with ESP just turned off, or had you put it in dyno mode? (or have you thrown an LSD in there without telling anyone )

Have a great Christmas & New Year, wherever you end up.

EDP nearly killed my R170 - heavy shower, little river running diagonally cross a dual carriage way - I woz sat in the outside lane, when the lights changed, I floored it - offside back wheel hit the slippy river, ESP decides to throw the brakes on on that wheel only - but, by the time it had decided what i was doing, the wheel was on the dry, on grippy stuff, so span the car, and nearly landed it in the median.

It's only a remastered collection of their greatest hits. It got me hooked on them. Aside from "virtual insanity" There not too big here in the US, If more people heard them, they would be very successful here.

Nice vid. It highlights the need for a LSD though.
