Little Things You Hate

Didn't mean that the video was a case of lift-off oversteer, but rather that if the weight transfer under engine braking in corner is enough to break traction and induce LOO then a combination of heavy emergency braking and applying the handbrake would surely be sufficient to do the same here. Anyway it's all academic, that car ain't driving anywhere anymore

That might lock up the inside wheel, but even then the ESC and ABS should keep that under control.

sigh. in 12 months... Hopefully it wont be finished by then. The neighbours are going to fight it!

Im more annoyed about the prospect of fucking tradies for the next however many months building the bloody thing.

I reckon it's turned off or it didn't work. Look at symbol on the right-hand bottom

i reckon its ABS was working on the front wheels though - which makes me think dud sensor on the back.

It would be throwing all sorts of warning lights.

it just would have had the ABS warning light on. wouldnt be the first person to ignore warning lights on the dash!

 

[Flow-Rider]

The ABS doesn't usually activate if it picks up a fault, it's like a safety feature.

I think they're smart enough to work on the front axle if there is a sensor fault in the rear and vice versa. although it would have been better off having the fronts lock as well and stay in its lane...

Highly unusual especially if the hand brake was not pulled. Very good timing with brake lights if that was the case.

If front ABS was still working it would have come to a stop sooner IMO. Looked like fronts were not working at all to me. Or they didn't stand on them hard enough once the rear started coming around.
If malfunctioning I also would expect the system to be deactivated entirely so would have 4 wheel locked if stood hard on the pics. I'm not sure what control system Skoda use so cant say if it would deactivate entirely or continue on working for unaffected wheels in the event of a sensor failure with malfunction light on. (If malfunction light was already on).

Very strange, but would be very easy to inspect the car afterwards to find out what really occurred.

i think if the airbags have deployed the ecu will store the parameters at the time - sort of a black box. very odd round.

Lucky you guys wakeup early 7 days a week!

Hahahaaa - real estate agents.

Neighbour rattles about in a Getz. House ad shows a Ferrari 458 and a.....Bugatti Veyron!

I hope the Veyron becomes as ubiquitous as the 911 is in these floor plan drawings.

 

[Dales Cannon]

Nice to see they are using a variable scale too.

I'd like to see them mix it up and chuck a supercharged '34 Ford coupe with zoomie pipes and a flame paint job.

A Bugatti Veyron is an aspirational purchase.
