My road is pretty quiet so managed to have some good fun on that when leaving the house, had even more fun on the way home when i turned the traction control off. Planted my foot down in second expecting to just get loads of wheelspin but was actually quite suprised by just how much grip it got.

Love this I live in Cardiff and work in RCT (Rhondda) this morning was fun to say the least. I opted to not be a pansy and give it my best shot, made it to work, but damn, this time of year really wasn't best to convert from a fwd civic to a rwd beast!

The Zed is absolutely hopeless in this weather. I'm definitely buying a winter car next year. A rear wheel drive car with no weight over the back wheels is not a car you allow your wife to borrow as I had to rescue her yesterday from the bottom of a slight incline. All because she was too stuborn to drive the 107 I had got from Europcar. That changed when the Zed nearly went into a ditch.
