1st Tail happy moment today!
Owned the S for 2 weeks now and experienced the first tail happy moment.
Heading out of Crewe and exiting a small roundabout on moist tarmac i gave it a small poke on the throttle and the tail stepped out, bit of opposite lock brought her back round straight, wonderful experience for me, the missus was shitting herself!
Won't be doing it too often as i know it will bite one day but the chassis is so adjustable, just like my go-kart!

did it this avo joining a minor road with odd camber going up hill, and with the new exhaust there seemed to be a few people who noticed - lots of horrified expressions in the rear viwe mirrir (including mine till i'd survived - then a big grin)!

When you hit the kerb all will become clear.

Yep you have to be very careful had mine nearly two years had the back out a few times but got a shock just the other day. I was following a learner along normally i just sit there and wait for them to turn off but this was my fifth one on this journey. Anyway decided to boot it past him he was going about 20mph i was in second floored it as i started to go by it went very sideways as it hit the Vtec luckily caught it but was very nearly embarassing.

I was only in an Asda car parks 'cos it was easier to nip in there rather than try to battle into the retail car parks next door both times, honest...
