rain? dont scare me like that!

PS R1's sound good. 205 will be fine. AWD = slow a bit then floor it and
stay on the boost. i rode with my pal stuart who paxed #1 a couple of times
last year at GGF in an AWD talon, and even out on the marbles he would just
floor it and steer. pretty amazing compared to my tip-toeing.
