The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

What do you do if you've got one of each?

Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Yes, pointless. It presupposes that one of BEC or CEC is best and generates heat without any chance of agreement.

BEC isn't better, CEC isn't better, they are just different, pick the one that suits what you want to do best.

Driving on normal roads (with other people around) and driving on motorways are two things that come to mind.

Got a tin top for that sorta thing.

To enter into the debate motorways, not a lot of fun in a CEC or a BEC, normal roads, give me a sissy BEC every time.

All my humble opinion btw but it wont change.

Isn't this like having an argument about which are better blondes or brunettes?

You need to make a direct comparison.

what you need is one of each

As posted by others I have a diesel tin top with cruise control for slogging up and down boring motorways.

For a fun toy at the moment for me a BEC is where its at.

Just to add another one in, how much does a sequential box for a CEC cost?

You gotta love lightening fast flat shifts with ignition cut.

Antnicuk just trying to figure out where you car fits into this debate! Yours must be a REC
So your 500 BHP per ton is fairly useless in this debate thank god! looks like bec is still on top


Love the black and white looks on the Stylus
