Default HEHE. Scooby drivers face when i got major sideways.

I was going round a roundabout today in the rain.
Im running in a new diff so i can to silly speeds but i got major sideways on some diesel. A Scooby driver on the other side of he roads face was like

I think he didnt want a purple classic to smash into his nice Scooby.
But I caught it and saved the day.

Hello if youre out there.

I managed it when my tires needed replacing. I didn't like it. I wasn't in control because I didn't envisage on the sideways thing. My mate had a scoob for a few months and did the same thing in the wet and wrote it off. Luckily no one else was involved but she shat herself.

Maybe it's because you have a purple classic....

Im used to sideways. But i think the scooby driver thought "Oh ****, RWD swing spring car with power going sideways in the wet being driven by an 18yr old = my precious scooby in bits"

I love getting it sideways. Scares modern car drivers when theyre in the next lane

I sometimes "get it sideways" when walking down the street - people give me some strange looks as I crab step to BHS!

I was going to say that; unless you have altered the camber on the rear suspension this is part and parcel of driving one of the b*stard things....

Have you ever seen a Vitesse on tip-toes after a couple of roundabouts? A pushbike would be putting more rubber on the ground at the back!
