8am leaving work, kick the back out in the rain soaked car park, cant be helped :yeah:

get onto the road it seems like its ok n all then hopping on the freeway it starts going nuts almost lost it on the on ramp, on a SLIGHT bend on the tram rd entrance just in 2nd accelerating slowly back buckles.

halfway home to blackburn rd, nearing first bridge, my side of the road, complete left lane at minimum an inch of water couldnt see the white lines at all, truck infront throwing showers back, and rain coming down like hail, windsheild wiper on high and still cant see out, drove down the freeway at 60 kays... it sucked, on the offramp at blackburn ive taken that to fast before, i went round the corner at like 10kmh, insane shower this morning.

off ramp at Blackburn road is one of the best corners in the world for an underpowered car! and you only did it at 10kph!?!?!

there's nothing to hit! (apart from other cars & concrete wall)
