The good morning thread

Did you mean 'Slapper'............or this??!!

 

[GeoffCapes]

Definitely slapper. That heart in the mouth moment when the rear overtakes the front and heads towards the curb on one side of the road followed by the other side of the road.
Thank god there was nothing else on the road, when it is normally very busy.

Ok, ill keep the Strad SORN till the Spring then, glad you got away with it.

What tyres are you running, Pirelli?

 

[Contigo]

Just had a bit of a tank slipper!

I think the Maser can go back in the garage until the following:

1. The roads dry out.
2. It warms up.
3. New tyres get put on the car.
4. I remember to warm the tyres sufficiently before putting my foot down.
5. I improve my driving abilities by about 300%

Time to change my pants.

Tank slapper? It's called a dab of oppo !!!! SPORT mode on, full lock, floor it then opposite lock as the rear end tries to overtake the front end. It's what these cars as made for!!!!

 

[Spartacus]

Weird! Just had the same experience.

Wet nearside, dry offside (closest to road centre), it bit too much right foot and hey, we are heading towards the artic coming in the opposite direction.

When that happens, keep foot it if with these gearboxes. If a manual, depress clutch.....

Phew

A very good morning to all.

Got two tickets through to be in the audience of Top Gear on the 25th Jan......

Just an observation.....Trump has been saying God Bless America a lot over the last year but with the snow and ice, huge fires, floods etc maybe God is not being so kind to Mr Trumps America since he took office.....Seems like one thing after/disaster another since he took office.....Just saying.

Morning all off to the shoot this morning with the hounds. Volvo is still working!

Have fun all...
