)Bearing in mind this was the first time id ever driven my 316i (or any RWD car for that matter) in the wet, so i was cautious, yet intreaged (sp) to see what sidewaysness was like first hand
First couple of efforts i was being too cautious, and wasnt giving it enough, so the next oppertunity was a small roundabout... into 2nd, rolled round, then planked it, back end was waaaay out, i managed to controll it, and went round another couple of times.
Next time, was anopther roundabout, 2nd gear, perfectly round the roundabout, arse out, feeling good
.Then went into a supermarket car park, done a few donuts, generally messed around for a bit, having a good laugh
Feeling pretty confident by this point
i decided to try it on a corner rather than a roundabout....Cruised up to the corner in 4th, decided to drop to 2nd gear.... then floored it, arse was everywhere, lost controll mounted the o/s kerb, shot across the road, hit the n/s kerb, and came to a stop on the wrong side of the road
jumped out, checked for obvious signs of damage, and surprisingly.. there was nothing wrong! (too look at anyway) no dented wheel, kerbing, was very lucky by the looks of it, not looking forward to checking it out properly in the morning though Anyway, to sum it up, what mental fun rwd cars are!
But very very uncontrollable in the wet
I'll be more careful next time (providing my car isnt fucked after this time)
, 4 into second on a roundabout in the wet is kinda askin for it though
