I was just on the M61 coming home and it was raining hard, so i stuck to 68MPH on cruise control and it slid for about 3 seconds. When it came back i was doing 50MPH and i thought wtf no power then i realised the cruise control had knocked off. Has anyone else experienced this??

A couple of weeks back was doing 50mph also on the M61 going to Swinton. Slid for a few seconds, bricked it and slowed down to 35ish. Got round the bend and there was a Passet with its front smashed in and a recovery truck.

Was absolutely pissing it down when that happened.

I have P-Zeros on the Corsa and they are bad for it. On my way home from work there is a road where you get little streams running of the fields, keep it pinned and you can hear it spin up as it goes thro the water.
