Thanks @Kneel. Really interesting. I see now that I might have misunderstood what Dave said - I read smooth and assumed damp.
I had been second guessing if I wanted a SF or an XC, but your great analogy ^ has put the SF back on top of my wish list. I mean seriously, how can I turn down a rowdy, eco-Porsche with an Euro adult disposition? Next you will be telling me it works in a library by day and a strip club at night
Apologies @bigwavedave for the threadjack.
