    Sorry, BD - jrandom is correct, and you're trying to defend an indefensible position.
    Either you're saying the traction control makes the front end (makes it what?), or you're saying the traction control operation is triggered/enabled/activated by what the the front end is doing.
    Either way, you need to either reword that sentence, or change 'effect' to 'affect'. Makes no sense otherwise.

    So....
    It should either say, "It 'appears' to only affect the front. ie come into play if the front looks like breaking loose." (Which makes perfect sense).
    The effect of the traction control only kicks in when the front starts to break loose, and only affects the back.

    Or (and this would only work if it were front-wheel drive):
    "It (the traction control) 'appears' to only effect drive to the front . ie come into play if the front looks like breaking loose."

    Or, if it were ABS, and not traction control:
    It 'appears' to only effect the retardation of the front brakes. ie come into play if the front looks like breaking loose.

    (Well... someone has to nitpick grammar now that Hitcher's on vacation...)
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I'm not defending anything - I'm saying it has no effect on the performance.

    Otherwise get fucked OK.

    There have been some modern versions of that produced too (replicas) with Harley engines as the donk.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Well, yes, but the Attenuated One did specify "performance"
    However, there HAVE been modern replicas with big Guzzi engines. WOuld might be fun.

    But the original was a full blown mass production (well, mass by Morgan standards) jobby

    Funnily enough it's the third time I've had the same argument. It has no effect.

    Call it speaking Aussie, because that is the way 'we' do it.

    Just like saying 70's. We use the apostrophe because it's an abbreviation.

    You didn't 'Ride' it. Sat innit. Perchad atop the gee forces is significantly different to sitting in.

    I see.

    So... you're saying, in effect, "Forgive me, Yer Honor [sic] - it may have appeared I was writing in English - it was Strine, but. Crack open a stubbie, willya?"

    The effect in effect did not affect the effect of the affected effect.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.
