Who likes driving their S in the wet?
Do you get a strange satisfaction when it's wet, a sense of a challenge of your driving skills.
Does it make you more alert to the feedback through the tyres, throttle and steering wheel and the skill of being as smooth as possible?... or is it just me.
Rain or shine, I love it every time!

The S is my only car so I have no choice even if I didn't like it in the wet.
The only time I have had the back end out in my car was on track at Knockhill in the wet, and it felt safe there although a little bit hairy : yikes:. On roads I have not even come close to getting the back out in the wet or the dry, I am too scared and not confident enough in the car or my ability so I tend to err on the side of caution.

I hate the rain....I hate the S in the rain.....I'd rather stay in than go out in the S if its raining more that just "spitting" 
Actually now i've had a think, i'm ok on the straight roads in the rain its just the bends i don't like

The S is my only car too. I quite like driving in the wet, only drawback is the fact that the roof is up when its raining rather than spitting.
Never push it hard at all around lanes / corners when its proper wet or greasy. But at low speeds around quiet areas with lots of space its good to experiment with the rear 'grip' when its wet, but the empahsis here is on PLENTY of space.

The S is my main car, we have a modded mini which tends to slide alot in the wet but thats kinda fun.. 
I don't enjoy driving the S on the motorway when the roads are really water logged cos it just stresses me...
