Back in the day when I had a company car (2.0 Mk1 Vectra estate) I used to play the TC game at a junction on my way home from work. Uphill, off-camber and especially fun in the wet. How many times could I get the TC light to flash on as I dumped the clutch at max revs. I was such a child...




I think six was my record.

I can disable the Tc fully on mine and that's epic rally fun
