Default Cold tyres, wet roads, white line

Pulling away in a straight line this evening, cold tyres, wet greasy road, might have touched the white line in the middle of the road and... slippy slidey action

I'd like to say my skill reined it in

But no, the car sorted itself out making me look like a pro LOL ! Reminder - cold/wet/slippy the Caterham will squiggle in first and 2nd, and I didn't try much beyond that !!!!

I love the car !! Have I mentioned that !?
