Well I never thought i'd see that.

In other news, well said re informing new owners of the S's twitchy ass. Now the weather is closing it is certainly the time to replace tyres, check pressures and alignment and remember that Vtec in the wet is there only to test your attention span and resolve.

You sir, are one very fortunate individual.

it certainly does me, in my first week of ownership an Iron grid got in my rear offside tyres way just as I was hitting VTEC from first to second, that was very exciting to say the least

Lucky escape, glad everything is ok. I have problems with white lines in the dry so in the wet I keep away from them. I had wheel spin in 4th the other day in the wet, decided to not let vtec cut in in 5th as didn't want to risk it at those speeds.
