Get out onto a skid pan, turn off the electronic talent (DCCD/A) and really get a feel for it and have some fun. I am sure it will do great nuts, and I am sure there will be plenty of encouragement from the onlookers.

But sorry to hear you binned your car. Happens to the best of us.... There really is alot to be said for all the excellent driver training and motorsport available on tap in Perth. It really does improve your ability to cope with hairy situations.

There is definately a time and a place to test the outer limits of your car and suburban streets full of people, kerbs, trees, poles etc are probably not the best place to start...not to say I havn't given it a good crack in the past. Kind of a case as do as I say not as I do
