Stuck my foot down on a dual carriageway and WOW, best mod you can do is to drive on a day like today, around zero degrees and damp!!

This weather is dam fine aslong as the other nutters can handle it in there nice safe front wheel drive cars. But the Impreza was certainly designed for cold mornings and empty damp roads. Cant wait to try her in the Snow

Managed to get my MR2 very sideways off a roundabout on Friday night - scary stuff, as it was in 2nd gear at about 40mph. Back end kicked right out but controlled it well with good throttle use. I think...or good luck whichever.

Great isn't it. I went out yesterday & a mist had fallen which made it even better. The dense air also makes the exhaust a lot more beefy

Not for one Integrale owner at Oulton Park on Saturday - lost it into the barriers.....shame.

Not for me driving home in the fog for four hours.....although the exhaust note was music!

Take care

I find crisp dry sub zero mornings the best for out and out performance.

Does dampness improve power for a given ambient temp?
