Default Vibration on quick turn into driveway. Hmmm

Yes, if I turn too fast into my driveway I get a vibration. If I take it slow as I should no vibration. Could this be an early warning sign that something is wearing out or do all P38's RR from 2002 do this? Just a question. Other wise it continues to be a pleasure to drive and it turns so many heads especially when she is freshly washed.

ABS? I live on a busy road so I have to turn in rather quickly and my driveway angles back a little. My ABS comes on almost every time. If I do have the chance to pull in slowly it doesn't do it.

Yeah the ABS on these things is either loud or you get a vibration or something! Mine however does not usually kick on while making quick turns into driveways, and with the amount of houses I see a day I would think it would somewhere.

My driveway is a little different than most. I'm on a road where people are driving 55 to 65 and so I'm usually flying in at a pretty good pace. The driveway angles sharply back while going down a hill. It triggers it almost every time. If I am going into a "normal" driveway it doesn't usually do it.

I have the solution, which is just to take it easy and not fly into my driveway or turn quickly into a parking space. Thank you all for your experiences. They all sound like the RR will use its ABS when it feels like the limits are being pushed.
