Venezuela only have spring - summer - summer - rain. and if it rains for more than 3 days, you can watch the barrios, ranchos, shanty town houses sliding down the mountain.

best i saw was a rich stuck up git in his Z4 in a storm. the road was flooded and he went to drive through it. instead of thinking what he was doing, the water was over the bonnet. it stalled and the daft B*****D opened his door! OH DEAR ME!

Be careful on snow and ice, the traction is amazing, TC and ABS ensures you have no real idea of how slippery it is, lift off suddenly if you are going a tad too fast and all 4 wheels lose grip at the same time. Caught me out in my first winter, never been caught by any other vehicle, just slid off the (very narrow) road into a ditch when I lifted momentarily for a corner. Personally I would prefer if TC and ABS could be turned of, then at least it would be easy to test the grip level

Unfortunately no. Some vehicles do have the option ( buggered if I can remember which ones though!) but they are the more off road oriented ones

I always find the TC and ABS cut in way too soon and cause more problems than they solve. Plus it always sounds like a battlefield if you're on something really slippery.

not sure but think early 38s have 2 wheel tc compared to 4 wheel tc on later models correct me if im wrong

Indeed they do, mine has 4 wheel TC however. It was made on the bridge between clear lights, so has updated electrics but the older lights.

You are correct up to 98 two wheel, 99 on four wheel. I think.

wil2813 · Nov 25, 2012

not sure but i think 4.0 38s dont have tc at all again correct me if wrong

There can be P38s without TC think it depends on model level.

Agreed. Cars stop quicker without ABS in snow.
