Cheers for the heads up, I found it really slippery the other day round here too, it wasn't freezing but wet and greasy. Had some fun spinning in 3rd using half throttle :lol:

Yep i was out lastnight at the local industrial estate havin bit of fun, decided i needed practise with RWD so made sure there was no1 else to crash into. I did a few donuts, made myself dizzy, and drifts in 2nd gear, and snaked it a couple of times for about 200yrds which was fun,kept it easy on the car tho, never used full throttle!
