:) It actually varies the traction control - it's fitted to an absolute beast of a 911 (pictures of the car have been posted here before I think? I'll get one and post). The guy thought it would be cool to use an old aircraft dial as opposed to a 'normal' traction control dial. I loved it - but yes, it is of course completely confusing unless you've seen the article :lol:
