Chaps,
I had a weird feeling tonight and I was wondering if you could relate to it or offer some advice.
Fact is, I am seriously thinking about selling the Cossie because I just cannot control myself in it. Everytime and I do mean everytime I go out in it I feel compelled to hang the back end out, really go for it speed wise and find a car park, CCTV'd up or not and donut her. This is especially bad when it is wet as she is a lot easier to provoke despite new tyres having just gone on.
Take tonight. I pulled up next to a white escort at the lights and the bloke opposite looked at me and nodded, obiviously saying "nice car mate" did I just say thanks and pull away? No I nailed it, lit up both tyres and fishtailed down the road. Immediatly afterward I thought "You *****, the back end swung out and you only just missed hitting him. anybody, including the police could have seen that so why did you do it?"
Not the thing to do with an £8000 appreciating super car, I'll think you'll agree.
Does anybody have the same problem as me cos I would really like to know how to deal with it. Its getting to the point now where I just don't take her anywhere because I don't have the self control to stop myself.

Try a Trackday to get it out of your system or go on an advanced driving course, wetter better that type of thing. Never know it might quell your desires a bit
