Yep, my 3 door cossie was a proper handful in the wet - every time it rained, my hands would go all sweaty!! Not much better in the dry either!!

I sold my Saff cossie 2 weeks ago, that was producing 451 bhp and 361 lb/ft , now that was a hoot to drive, very quick car, used to catch me out a few times that,s for sure..
