[s-cars] Broken Plastic yields red line auto

[Mark Strangways]

I have had to do a high speed shut down, it's quite easy to turn the engine 
off, put it in neutral and get the key back to a spot that will allow the 
steering to be unlocked. At speed you won't really miss the servotronic 
assist.
BTDT,

Mark
