tbh you cant really use it on the m6, you end up catching up to all the cars without it and spend most the time overtaking
I dont need a 6th..

It seems ok for a while, then just irritates the shit out of you. Trying being almost forced to sit at 60mph though because of a sewing machine for an engine
