Its a great feature, if you have long legs you can get up close and still be able to turn the wheel.

For such a small touch, it adds loads for various reasons. Well happy I have one.

Ha ha, know what you mean. I did exactly the same and it was very annoying. I make sure I steer more like an IAM member now :D

Us IAM folk don't have to use the 'quarter to three' stance and 'feeding the wheel' anymore, rotational steering is now permitted!!

Palming the wheel is never a good idea though!!
