Corsa did today for the first time really!
Was raining and hadnt driven in the wet yet!
Pulled onto a dual carriageway and booted to find the revs flying round and wheels spinning up done this untill i got the revs down and in 3rd gear!! was quite happy though as a golf gti went to overtake me when i was spinning and when i got traction,
bye bye

Braking from 135mph for a roundabout and the brakes totally fading is a pretty pant staining moment
