In more ways than one.
I was driving the Coupe into my office this morning. A34/M4 was still wet on the road surface but not really raining. Usual traffic builds up around Calcot junction.
As it starts moving I give the Coupe a boot to pull away and the ZF autobox is in second which is normal. The back wheels instantly spin up like bobbins and the car moves as fast sideways as it does forwards for 2-3 feet. I catch it and hold it slightly sideways as I trundle forwards with the wheels spinning. Lift off and hit the brake for the next queue. Never went above 10 mph road speed.
I look at the people around me and can see a lot of tonsils ! Huge open mouth gawps. Hilarious.
Time to get rid of these horrible Avons I think. Rubbish in the wet.
