I keep smiling at Tunnies Senator comments, clearly hes never had his 4 pot wheel spinning....I find the 2.5 Manual lets go quite easily (with lower traction control fluid levels)....

I may have to own up and say I've had his 2.2 wheelspinning  

I may have also had it a bit tail happy, but that was its 'durable' tyres rather than raw power....

It's not difficult to spin the wheels on a 2.2, and anyway, shouldn't you be working on the Rover? :-?

Fairly bright down here with ferocious winds.  Already lost 2 tiles off the roof today  
In The snow in Cornwall last year, got the auto box so hot and bothered that the snow mode stopped working until it all cooled down  .  Bet you didn't know that could happen.

Police are advising that if you don't have to travel; then don't. guess you've got no choice......

[Dave]

Phone office to be told the wind is dying down and customers are paying for a overnight service! Plus no work no PAY.

Ah, so that's what all the fuss was about, I overheard part of a conversation between two of our drivers in the canteen, makes sense now!

Spinning them was on gravel though, never spun the wheels on normal roads.

I managed to spin the rears on the Senator pulling out of a junction, the road i was on was slighly down hill joining a flat road, and i did boot it quite a bit... heard a bit of tire squeal

Also, that tail wagging it did on day I wheelspun in at the gateway, that did catch me unawares - wasn't expecting that!  It just has been the sheer grunt of a 2.2

Its easily to under estimate the power of the 2.2  

Actually after 2 days of driving the Senator I was expecting a big disapointment in the Omega, its was not as bad as i thought. Engine is a lot nosier when cold, but performance was ok. But its mid range and higher speeds where mine runs out of steam, the Senator just pulls, and pulls.

I like my saving my tyres, saves money. Following my Dad - 92k miles only on his second set of tyres!
