I'm rather enjoying spinning my tyres and calling the rain an excuse

I'm loving it.
The FTO is a hoot in the wet, completely forgot.
Gotta say I'd be having more fun on a track, but you can stick it in the bends and have the car glide round from the lift off.
Every single time I stopped I had to feather the throttle as the front would otherwise spin up, does that even in the dry meanwhile.
Doesn't help having now old and probably hard tyres, but does make for some interesting driving.
Back in the merc today and all it does is sink into the road making it's own tracks, damn thing's on rails and will not spin or step out in the wet. Boring.

Re: So how about this lovely British weather we're having.
Few weeks ago in Tas we had a mid 20s day and bucket loads of rain around 7pm, tried to get up a side street to get into woolies and sat there spinning creeping backwards. Would've been embarrasing if I didn't get grip and took off up the hill.
