the 2wd cossies are most of the time nice weather cars....that's gay. a 4wd cossie is a better car then. you can trash it allmost every weather except in the snow.
try to trash a 2wd in the rain and look who's faster....loser
sorry to know you have no respect to the 4wd cossies

You have no where near the mechanical grip you have in the dry so to try and drive fast is just fuckin stupid.
Don't get me wrong, I drive fast on the road but only when I'm not in built up areas, when there is no traffic around AND NOT WHEN THE ROAD IS WET.
Try to thrash a car in the rain (whether 2 or 4wd)?
No thanks, I'm not that much of a prick

Yea, but it was dry
Seriously, yes, I have been guilty of some pretty stupid things in my time both in cars and bikes.
Thankfully I learnt from my actions and they never had any serious repercussions.
I'm certainly no angel but I have certainly changed my attitude over the years when it comes to exposing others to my stupidity.

thrashing a car in the wet, or caning down b roads, the 2 things people will 4x4s go on about when they trying to show how vastly superior they are on the road, are both incredibly stupid n dangerous...
and i drive like a fookin irrisponsible dick, so thas meanin somthing for me to say that
dont get me wrong, 4x4s do have a lot of advantages (tho i dont like em), but the 2 road examples people always give are irrelavent unless your a total cock end IMO.

Hey GurnE,
the only point I'm trying to say here is that a lot of people keep saying 4wd cars are gay. and you and I know these cars are fun on it's own way.
and I'm not stupid enough to trash my cossie in the wet. that I agree with you.
I guess you know also from a lot of 2wd cossie owners who a telling a 2wd is more fun, that the most of these guy's can't control a 2wd properly when the ass of the car breaks out.
mike rainbird had a 2wd with 500+bhp and is now driving a escos.
so I guess a 4wd must be fun also. but in differend way as 2wd.
no hard feelings gurnE
best regards

2wd IS more fun though .
4x4 IS faster on track (above a certain power).
Once you get over 400bhp, 4x4 is faster in all conditions - FACT. At around 300bhp, rwd will be faster than 4x4, as traction is not an issue and can be tamed with good suspension and tyres. Above 400bhp, then without the aid of slicks, it is impossible to tame a 2wd Cossie's side-ways antics.

Testing the future
driving to the limits of grip on the public road is the same imo, be it wet or dry.
but we all do it sometimes. it just depends where you do it that determines how dangerous to yourself and other people that you are.
i will go sideways around a corner on a public road if i can see that there's nothing coming the other way. i risk my car and my body, and i can accept that if i get it wrong i will get hurt and the car will be wrecked. it wouldn't be the first time.
there's been a few times though when going to overtake people the back has stepped out with the change of direction combined with the acceleration. that surprised me a little and i didn't mean to do it. i think it surprised the other driver to when i was facing their side door and had to give it a load of opposite lock to straighten up and blast past them.
you talk about 4x4 being safer than 2wd. i'm not convinced. if you're driving at the limit, you'll probably be going faster in the 4x4 and in my experience you can loose a 4x4 either by understeer or oversteer and you don't necessarily know which will happen. at least in the rwd, you know that the back will not step out unless provoked, so if you're unsure about the level of grip you should just leave the lead boots at home.
most of the time, it's not the car's fault that a crashed occurred, it was the driver doing something that they shouldn't (i would say stupid, but it's not necessarily purposely stupid). inexperience with the power/ drive configuration is a major contributor in the case of most rwd cossies, and certainly seems to be in this sad case.

I dont care if a cossie is 4x4 or 2wd TBH they are both great cars !, I just think 4x4 is safer and gives a bit more grip round roundabouts and corners etc.... but it just does not have the fun factor of 2wd Arse out action we all love !!
