Turning left at a medium sized roundabout, slightly damp surface, booted it in 2nd and the front understeered heavily, so years of fwd experience kicked in and I feathered the throttle. The back end stepped out gracefully, I got back on the gas and it all straightened up nicely.

I suppose next time it happens, I'll probably end up in a ditch somewhere

Repeat after me: driving like a **** when you've haven't got much experience of 4wd handling is not big, not clever and could have been nasty.

A good mixture of emotions the first time this happens.

From the sounds of it, I experienced LOO about 8 or 9 days ago.
