1 Check your tyers - Wear and pressure

2 Dont forget it has been damp

3 Dont forget with the cold the turbo is getting Thin air so it is getting better boost.

I cant see any Fabia wheelspinning at that speed :giggle:

Probably black ice :p

Your tyres must be as bald as a badgers 4rse.....

Hahahaha... Maybe reduce your speed?

Get a limited slip diff??

Has anyone said 'learn to drive' yet? :giggle:

Yea,

You mean the speedo has read that speed, as the wheels spin, woohooo go you.

Learn to drive, stop trying to show off you have 200bhp+ and well, what everyone else has said really.

,ive also done this in 6th gear at 80 mph and it still spins...............any suggestions....

Yes.

1) Ask your doctor to prescribe some medicine which prevents dreaming.

2) If this illusion of wheelspin at 80/90 mph persists when you are awake, you could always try a course of

refresher driving lessons.

3) Please be kind enough to advise me if you should ever think of driving anywhere near me as I don't want

anything to do with hospitals, and I'll just stay home until the danger passes.

I know the weather is crap in N wales, but wheel spinning at 80 sounds like cr@p tyres.

My vote is on you having a pretty bad diesel leak which is going on your front tyres.

I'll take that as a compliment!emoticon-0110-tongueout.gifemoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif

AFAIK 80mph in 6th is not even in the right part of the powerband to cause loss of grip. Its too low down at around 2k revs. Whats that I smell...................
