Its a sweet roundabout, no? Those lovely little 'yumps' on the entry and exit. Great for scaring the wifey in the dry

Is your scoob up here when you're working? I live 1 road away from that roundabout, we should hook up some time.

You might also considder having your tracking looked at I took mine to hve the 4 wheel alignment done at powerstation and WOW is the only word. There is such a differance in the handling now that the rear wheels aren't toeing out!! This made more differance than changing tyres for new Eagal F1's a week earlier!!

Tyres most definatly tyres. I had Michelin on my old 15"s and in the wet on corners and roundabouts I would slide all over the place. Had trouble keeping up with a Metro on a roundabout. Now I have decent rubber and it can corner soooo fast in the wet.

BUT watch out for slippery leaves, diesel, mud, ice etc. These can and will catch you out big time. I am still learning the safe limits of mine after 2 years. (Mainly weekend driving)

Have fun

Buy some decent tyres. My original Bridgestone RE010's were sh*te in the wet, but with SO'2s on the roadholding in wet conditions is fantastic.

Having said that on a greasy roundabout, with all the power, take it carefully until you learn how to handle the car.
