Everybody is moaning about the weather etc, well i thought it was a brilliant day.
I drove from Guildford to Reading and back in a rear wheel drive vehicle with the traction control switched off - sideways a every roundabout 8-)
I went for bonus points in Reading city centre and tried to drift it all the way round a roundabout near the station, but some idiot pulling out {how hard is it to remember "Give way to the right"} put a stop to that <(
Fantastic :D

56 Reg Transit with switchable Traction Control. Not sure on the specs but it's got more grunt than the older style

2006 Mk6 or Mk7? I'm guessing the latter...

Edit: My mistake - it must be a Mk7 if it's 56 reg :oops:

The most beautfiul journey on the entire rail network (except maybe some bits in Scotland Ive never done) is along the coast at Dawlish. Its even better when theres loads of rain and wind

Sounds fun! <D

I've been in a car drifting around roundabouts/sharp bends in Aberdeen City in the dry, was fun and didn't stop laughing!

Never forget the looks on people faces thinking "wtf, he's going to crash!" :lol:

^I'd have been saying the same thing; Aberdeen's got rather tight congested streets IIRC?

Hmm well I suppose so, it was mainly speed around the streets like Union street then drifting round the roundabout at the beach on the big wide road <D

Maybe at night those areas are quieter, but Union Street's usually jam packed with buses and cars in my experience. King Street's no better.

What is all this moaning about weather? Apart from the icy roads on Sunday in Aviemore (snow glorious snow), I'm not sure its any worse than normal is it?

Snow:D did someone mention S.N.O.W.:D

Weather is beautiful. To be enjoyed in all its variant forms.
