Right, yeah ok i do sometimes drive like a cock, but having always driven fwd/awd it's prehaps given me a bit of misguided confidence. Now in a rwd car everything seems completly different and i'm looking at everything ahead in so much more detail, like ooo drain covers ahead, better not plant my foot down, diesel on the roundabout, better be more carful.

If i drive everywhere at 2krpm feathering the throttle it drives like a dream. no problems at all. but being a petrol head like most of us here enjoy hammering the fuck out of a car when road conditions allow it just doesn't give the same buzz as driving a scooby for example as the traction isn't there in the wet.

Which really it's the traction thats a problem, and while i know tyres are all thats keeping me on the road and the contis are better tyres, i can't help but wonder are all rwd cars this twitchy in the wet? - this is my first rwd car remember.
