Pah ya softee - mine does this on dry roads in the middle of June ;-))))

what tyres are you running ?

I found a soft compound 48R or 888 to be a little better in these conditions with my 245 bhp Caterham . But at the end of the day - a wide tyre with only 180Kg of weight on it can only result in the diff getting a real good workout :-)))

Maybe a quicker rack is needed so you can catch the buggar ??

keep it slowly sideways ........

Fortunately it isn't my Atom in the ditch as the damage cost is circa £450 + VAT + labour!

I'll check later what tyres I've presently got on mine. Good fun though

Blimey he got away quite lightly then!

I was out for a little blastette the other day and even though the roads were dry it was still quite slippery, roll on summer.

Actually includes VAT and the labour will be free because I am going to DIY. Might even get away without a new rad so will cost even less.

And to add insult to injury, in the 10 minutes he'd left to make a phone call, someone pinched the seat harnesses! And furthermore, this Atom was less than an hour old having just been collected from the factory in Somerset.
