Default Weather getting you down?

Rain rain go away....

Feel like I havent given the car any thrash in ages, tried just a bit this morning and it started to snake when Vtec came in.

Its all bends and roundabouts in Worcestershire, I so need the hot days to come back.... Saxos, Puntos and Corsas are even beating me round town at the mo

Yeah but they still look like Saxos and Puntos if you were interested in beating them you'd be driving a scoob.

Must be a sight watching the S snake about when you pull away in VTEC in the wet. I got some angry flashes once

I am getting too cock sure again, starting to REALLY throw the car about in the wet, making it drift off roundabouts, snake in vtec etc... suppose I need another non-damaging spin again to slow me down a bit!

If you had some decent wheels, your car might handle better
