Yeah, but the strange thing is there is a roundabout of death (read very busy) 50 yards behind it, and I think thats in rushhour. Couldn't have been going that fast out of said roundabout I would have thought. Ah well, I suppose we'll never know.

There are some very bad drivers out there. 
And some very stupid ones.
Then there are some who are both bad and stupid. Looks like one of these guys was driving this poor Nissan.

Actually quite easy if you've been used to FWD all your life.
Boot it out of nice greasy roundabout. Back starts to go. Lift off to quickly. Over correct a few time. Back hits kerb - railing takes the back nicely up to the point you see.
I was fortunate - I learned about the diff between FWD and RWD by going from a mini to an MG Midget aged 17 3/4. First wet roundabout was still an experience even with 60ish bhp.

This belongs to a guy from the 350Z forum, fair play to him for the parking
Let's not get all high and mighty about poor drivers though, these things happen from time to time. I'm sure we've all had moments which make you think "er, that was a bit quick!"
No disrespect here to Scooby drivers (I was one for 4 years!) but Scoobies are inherently very stable cars. It's often said that it takes a very good driver to keep pace with a pants driver in a Scooby. Again, no disrespect, but Scoobies really are idiot-proof.
The 350 is an "old skool" beast, and it really doesn't take a great deal to provoke the rear end. A quick start into a roundabout for example can see you drifing around rather than driving.
