Title: One wheel spin!
Post by: Chilli Girl on January 7, 2019, 22:43
Don't believe I've ever managed to do this before in 12 years of MR2 ownership.  Whilst driving home from work, the usual journey, 9 times out of 10 I always meet the school double decker, this evening I managed to pull in half onto an entrance of moist block paving drive to let the bus pass. Left rear was on block paving and the right rear was on the road.  Must've let the clutch out abit quick and along with revs, I was on a hill, I heard the left rear wheel spinning, for a minute I wondered what the noise was but then realised that's all it could've been!  Tut tut! :)

Bad chilli girl.
Clearly many more revs and aggressive release of the clutch would have resulted in double wheelspin.

Must try harder.
Think what joy you have deprived those children of.

I'm so lovin my lsd.  None of my previous cars had it, even the 130i, and getting out the end of my road, uphill on shiny rough slabs, was always a pig.  One wheel would always spin and I'd just go nowhere.  Now, I just whizz out.

I quite frequently use it to quickly turn a corner :)
