Thys don’t brag because you’ve had lockers all round [emoji41]

Neil, I can add the following to the criteria of vehicles that should not have gone beyond the concept stage:
Any vehicle that relies on acronyms to
- allows it to negotiate a corner,
- allows emergency stops without proper cadence braking by the driver,
- compensates for the fact that it has no proper articulation when driving off-road,
- make up for the driver's lack of throttle control when taking off from a stand-still
In other words make up for the fact that most modern-day drivers are NINNIES

Like Quadra Drive?

Quadra Drive is a purely mechanical system that actually requires some driver skill to utilize properly and is still a step below full lockers (in conjunction with decent articulation it is at least 10 steps above any acronym, though

)

It’s a driver aid. Thys uses driver aids.
Thys also has lockers all round. That’s a driver aid.

A phucking steering wheel is also a driving aid, Neil. We could still be using tillers to steer our vehicles, like the first cars
You and I both know that the acronyms I refer to are the electronic driving aids that manufacturers add to vehicles to be PC and protect the average Ninnies that call themselves drivers these days

I wonder if the Chinese concepts that looked very similar to some European models ever made it to production.
