Greasy Road Surface

[Dave J]

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 >> Edited by datasafe on Tuesday 3rd January 11:04

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 it wasn't just the animals that went in two by two! 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.
