Welcome to the fold. Simple things really. Don't try to find the limits yet, wait till you get the feel of it. They really do fight you in the wet so be warned, this is where you start to understand the cars oversteer. Tyre pressures & tyre type will have a significant effect on road holding. Good fuel and oil is worth the money.

Enjoy it and keep the shiny side up

I would reiterate what Bob has said.
You really do have to be careful as in the wet, its an entirely different beast.

Treat it with respect and enjoy.......by the way, welcome.
