just thought id bring it up.

once when i did a U turn, quite fast, full lock, when i straightened up to drive off, quite rapidly, there was a very strange feelin of only havin half my normal power available...was weird...u know the feelin of runnin on three cylinders when u put ur foot down but it just dont go...it went after i changed gear.

just wondering if it was something to do iwth the heavy U turn...hasnt happened again

cheers

yeah it happens on tight corners now and then.

I seem to be getting cars that gradually get a lot slower for unknown reasons.
