This morning, I came to a to the exit from the highway at aprox. 100mph, wanted to brake and the ABS starts triggering, the car struggled to find grip and so on...
At the end of the exit there is a sharp right into a normal B road but into a nanosecond I calculated that I never gonna make it.
So I hit the brakes harder and steered a little, release the brakes and in a four wheel drift I took the sharp right, with some steering and trottle moves.
I found it very strange so a little further I stopped and immediately noticed the smell of petrol.
Some bloke with a truck had lost almost the whole tank. When I stood there, a second car came on and (of course no 4wd) start to slide, slide, and slide more. He paniced a little and finally came to a stop on 5 meters behind me,...., onto the concrete sidewall of the road.
Now, not everybody is a perfect driver but I think that I may be a lucky one to have 4wd in this one.
My preious car was a Vauxhall 16v and I'm shure that with that car I had go to the same way...
Oh, later when I helped the poor man out and the police and firemen where there to clean up the mess, this was the comment.
"Look, another one of them fast hitters in a scoob", thereby had the firemen more attention to my car then to the oily spots on the road... They even cleaned my car with a high pressure hose and water. Now thats a service thats worth a topic on the scoobynet. Tell that to the firefighters in England when they're back from them strikes....

 

Hey come on guys (and girls), You aren't all firemen are you....? Or is it my typing English that's so bad ???

 

did your vauxhall have Koni's?

 

Yes it was equipped with adjustable koni's and original springs...

 

The vauxhall thing : I meant I would hit the sidewall with the Vauxhall, just like the other car !!!
Vauxhall suspension is like, quote from EVO magazine, toilet rolls and old socks..., and that's 101% true
