My MY99 handbook states that my car is equipped with speed-sensitive steering.

All power steering is speed sensitive isn't it? Otherwise you would be switching lanes on the motorway in double quick time.

Yup apart from the Rover SD1 I owned a few years ago, I ended up see-sawing across a dual carriageway

p.s. only reason people bought P1 instead of Type R was it was an official UK car.. don't forget the P1 was a de-tuned type R

Its just so Type R and P1 owners can have an argument.

It wouldn't be the same having a good car without worrying if someone has one thats better.
