Don't you?

Car feels tight, responsive.
Grip levels are not schumacher-esque.
More demanding (Compared to the hum drum auto pilot mode we normally find ourselves in)
Turns familiar roads into a new piece of tarmac
Most "unsure" drivers dare not venture out so there tends to only be confident, decisive people on the roads.

Love it!!

It's even more fun in the snow. The roads are deserted apart from a brave few who fancy a shot at being a rally driver

Try doing it in a 3-door. Positivly frightening. Car wants to swap ends if you so much a fart.
Mind you, that just makes broadsiding competitions with my other cossie driving mates more fun

I find that the rain brings the idiots out round here (no offence Mikey, but if the cap fits etc )

They're either right up your 4ss or slamming their brakes on when they start aquaplanning

Mikey, try it on a fast bike Or an Elise or M3. A Scoob in the wet can be great fun, but it can also mean that when you eventually visit the hedge, you're going 20mph quicker than 2WD cars...

I loved it too untill I stuck mi car through a wall.... that was Febuary and I still haven't fixed it

All summer I convinced myself the crash hadn't dented my confidence in the slightest but now, as the conditions are very similar to when I crashed, I'm cacking mi pants

Don't get me wrong, I'm not lecturing, far from it, just a few observations

Cool

Makes you realise how much difference a good set of tyres make.
Had some cheap rubber on there and changed to Goodyear Eagle F1s, totally different car now.
Fantastic fun.
