...and when I pick her up late at night from a school disco, I am not allowed to go in under any circumstances, I am to wait OUTSIDE until she comes out... Yes I can call her mobile, but she won't hear it ring anyway.

So I walk around on the grounds in small circles with my hands behind my back, waiting patiently, just to notice that I am one of several dads all doing the same, which for someone looking at us from a low-flying plane would seem like a bunch of pecking hens...

A topic about traction control ends up talking about ferrying teenage daughters around.

The TC light on my dash probably bares some resemblence to the lights at your school disco  :D combination of crappy rear tyres and my determination to wear them out as quickly as possible is the main culprit. A few thousand revs before dumping the clutch certainly speeds up the tyre wear almost as much as the acceleration!

Even better going round sharp bends though, sit in a low gear and stomp the gas on the apex... reminds you why FWD is no fun 8-)

Thats where you went wrong. My 4x4 training taught me to only use idle and light throttle...
