Getting to that time of year when I swap to the winter rubber (Nokian WRs) and feel nice and safe as I watch idiots spinning off the road at the first snowflake. Great for the annual trip to the Alps too

I had one nutter take to the pavement behind me while backing my Fury onto my drive not long ago

Other end of the A27 at Chichester - Fishbourne Roundabout is/was under 2ft of water. Dual carriage way was shut before 19.00 Young lad came off his fizzy on the Portfield roundabout and was carted off in a meat wagon with all lights blazing. (''

I cant say much about `on track` behavior as I gave up trackday's a long time ago - the nearest I have done is the event at Laon , and I couldnt even provoke a slide on slick French roads . At 80 mph plus on the motorway in torrential rain it felt safe and totally planted - definitely the best it has ever felt
