Rain + AWD = Best

Love seeing how hard i can push the speed limits. 70kmh speedlimit around roundabouts is always fun!

Rain is the only thing that makes speed limits fun.

Power sliding out of corners is fun and all in the wet. But try not to do anything stupid people.

AWD just means your going faster when you do go off.

Big drifts in the wet are fun but just be careful. It is easy to loose where exactly the front wheels are pointing if you get all 4 wheels spinning. When it hooks up you will take off wherever they are pointing. If thats not where you expect it can get messy in a hurry.

i got the same in my forry with the currently unconnected dccd ra box, 65/35 is great fun in the wet esp with the fat heavy arse of the foz, reminds me of my old vk5L 4spd , when the power comes on the back gets taily it straightens up the instant you get of the gas though which is nice, i should be getting the controller sorted soon so will be able to dial some bias in manually & go round corners fast in the wet again

I can't wait for the reply to come before the end of the week from someone: "Well, i was skidding in the wet and it let go too much and..."

It'll happen.

Enjoy wet weather driving, definitely feel the huge advantage of rwd cars. You're pretty much guaranteed to whoop any V8 from a standing start very easily.

Getting sideways round corners in the wet can be fun, but gotta be pretty damn careful these days. Last thing you want is an off.
