not a happy chappy
hi all doing a mate a favour this morning ,run him to hospital as his missus is in with a feared miss carriage,still waiting to hear her results...
but anyway whilst leaving the hospital,there's an off camber island (if anyone knows singleton they will know what i mean) so i waited at my stop point waiting to exit as there was a bus in the out lane,which would have meant i would have blocked the traffic entering,so i waited for the traffic to pull off then proceeded to pull around the island,at 5 to 10 mph.
just a little bit of throttle and the **** end spun around wiping out my bumper and spots.....
so i'm after some spots,i have sourced a bumper already....
both spots are smashed....
That's the island there is like a 3ft elevation change.... From the top in road to the bottom out road....

Just put your foot down and slide out in style
I had a massive moment on Fabien Way yesterday by Amazon on the new road layout. Someone kindly spilt diesel all over the inside lane. But i found out my car can go fully sideways and get back in a straight line
