I couldn't actually see a plane in the first one. Maybe the imagery is updated - or served up from different servers depending on where you search from... Glad it wasn't just me. I even cleaned my glasses! :lol: That's odd - it's a different link now, which makes sense as the road description didn'...

I see. I have to click 10 times to increment 10mph (but I just do them quickly). In my old car you could hold the button and the cruise control would wind up/down. Just for variation - I had one you could click for 1 mph or hold for 5 (or was it 10) mph. Then had to release and hold for another 5/1...

Just the same as if the car didn't have DSC or ABS, one h...
