So our SV is just back from the container ride Sydney -> Londonium. Besides the fact that our SV has covered more SEA miles than ANY other Se7en having not driven it in a few months I forgot how stupidly much power the modified VHPD has.

Until yeterday .

I've been driving our Turdo Diesel Volvo since we returned in late September, so that's been OK as a means to get around, and SWMBO felt safe in it.
Lucky for me she wasn't with me getting the car from Potters Bar / Ratrace on Saturday.

8C, AO-48r's, what looks like dry tarmac. Doing 40-50 in 4th, floor it on edge of town to go to 5th.

Next thing I remember I'm going sideways up both lanes of the A road. Lucky for me no cars coming, so back off power, and the rear-end snaps back right in place. Drivers rear tyre had touched the dashed white stripe centre of the road, and the LSD cut lose .....and away I went!!!

G*d I love driving this car, even if I froze my off going home to SW of Berks in the countryside where we live.....

There really is nothing else like driving your Se7en this time of year in the cold to hear the engine barking HP, and you're really feeling the denser cooler air. It is one of the most interesting times of the year for a blat!!!
