Cool porkies just answered it in another post! I wasnt too far adrift, i was under the impression a sleeper was like u say, a car that looks poo! But in actually fact is quite good in general! I didnt think it would only apply to its speed! Thanks for clearing that up! Will stop me making the same error!
