wHIZz Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Careful out there folks...... yes well I knew it would happen - out for a drive today and came round a small roundabout onto a straight so gave it some welly! - roads a bit greasy and the back end twitched to the left!...... on a straight! Well............. absolute gut reaction (no thinking time) cos I caught it and corrected it! The shock lasts about 3 seconds then that old realisation comes in and you starting pis**in yourself laughin! - of course, knowing that it could have gone oh so differently! Done my fair share of motoring over the years but even I can admit when something deserves respect!...... and she will get heaps of it from now on! Drive careful folks!

Havard Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Was out in the wife's BMW 320d tonight and that gave me a fright. Coming out of a 90 degree turn and gave it a bit of whelly!!! The diesel's got a fair bit of torque and the back end went "funny". Then again some knobhead (me) had turned the traction control off to make things more interesting.!! Switched it back on after that. Not that bothered about the car but the wife would kill me!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I had the (auto) Scorpio sliding at ~10mph on my work site yesterday, there was a bit of mud on the road but I thought little of it, 40% gas and the tail end went on a little journey by itself, me catching it like I was playing xbox whilst chuckling at the wheel Makes me glad I've got a runaround (and that there was loads of room, too) as the Supra would have been a lot different!

Mike M Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Managed to drift the supra up most of the street from the house at under 10mph. Great stuff this frost----NOT. Shes safely tucked up in the garage now until nice weather comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
