Exclamation Bit wet last night!

Was going round a roundabout and i lost the backend i felt left side go down abit, steering wheel pulled away from me and there was a brief brown duds moment! , but because im so good i managed to get it back ( ), i eased off the accellerator and got it in right direction again. At this point im hyperventilating and think ****! whilst my passengers had no clue as to what just happened!!

Be carefull out there even scoobys can lose grip!

Must be a scoob thing then, been threw a few tyres and couldnt find the right set, Pirelli P zeros were no good either, back end went quite a few times with the falkens on.

I think the EVO incident is a case in point: magazines are forever telling us that a car is idiot proof and bends the laws of physics blah, blah, blah, but 4WD and clever diffs are no match for brute force and ignorance! :-)

At least Jethro had the integrity to admit that he'd just got it wrong and was to blame!

Then they put him in a Dodge Viper...Inspired!

Best.
