Default Slippery or what !??!

Just had first load of rain down here and its kind of slippery to say the least

Was at a set of traffic lights just earlier, lights went green got biting point and the wheels were spinning and again spinning in 2nd gear !!

Watch out people, lets be carefull out there !!

It bears repeating for newbies:

This car can only defy the laws of physics in the dry.

The roads are very greasy after a long dry spell.

Put that proverbial egg between your shoe and the throttle.

No VTEC today, please. (Unless you really know the car and your limits!)

No shunts please, we're S2KI.

The Bluebird's lethal, just have to touch the brakes and the fronts lock up, and the understeer defies belief. Even the S looks safe compared to this thing
