    Ah but it's petrol Geoff, not the devil's alternative, electricity. My current wheels has 6 medium cylinders and a pleasant exhaust note, at least I can hear the Harmon Kardon stereo. My old Audi S6 was a V8, sounded lovely but did pull to the left going past petrol stations lol.

    There should be no real difference compared to dual carriageway. In fact I would say that the dual carriageway is probably more dangerous.
