Default M3 scarry as fook in this much rain
Had some very scary moments going to footi this morning.
Loads of water on the roads, 19's with low profiles are not good when so much water on the road.
I did give it a little to be fair,but not any where as much as i would have if in the scoob. had no control at all, just aquaplain.

Needless to say i will now be like miss daisy in the bad weather.

As soon as I see the weather like this, I get in, DSC OFF, Sport button ON, Hardest gear setting and have some serious fun.

I did snap on me once though, which was a slightly smelly moment

Boars head roundabout, all settings as Steve said,whoops too much right foot and i headed up towards crowborough whilst looking at Eridge, must have looked awsome, but the old pooper went. and trust me i grew up on rear wheel drive, i raced rookie rods and bangers etc etc for some years.
I am gagging to take it on track, but 25k is just too much to risk.

Boars head roundabout is a fooker too, funny old cambers on there, especially coming towards the borough.

Did you have it aquaplane coming up the bypass too, near the Bowles turn off? I had it in the scoob there yesterday at about 85. Luckily, knew it was coming and hit the water with everything straight
