Ha!!

In terms of next car, maybe no car?

Bryony gets a car from work and they added me to their fleet insurance. She’s currently got a Guntyman, but it’s about to be replaced to a regular mini. Not sure which engine yet. But depending on how much I hate the Mini, maybe we’ll just have the one car

Otherwise, another Golf R, what with them being the greatest car ever

Everyone needs a RWD wet roundabout fuckup in their driving history!

I span a twin turbo Soarer on a dry roundabout during a test drive. I got a tad greedy with the throttle Didn't hit anything thankfully.

ETA sorry to hear of the crash. Bound to be a mahoosive pita.

I think you'll find some of us managed it demonstrating lift-off oversteer to our mates in FWD cars

Yep, Cavalier 1.7Tdi. Ended up facing backwards in the middle of four lanes.

Don’t forget to cancel your road tax.

I span my Mk2 Escort on a wet roundabout and had to wave an apology to the bloke behind who I ended up face to face with. I wish I could claim that I was pressing on but I was going quite slowly at the time.

And I'm glad that Richard has failed to die in a fiery fireball of death.

Yeah mine was relatively low speed in a wet roundabout in a Volvo 440Li.

Smashed 2 alloys on my new at the time Lexus IS200 whilst attempting to drift.

I used to love playing LOO in my ZX Volcane. Particularly on one long 90Deg / 50mph sweeping bend leaving work (which was part of a 1-way system so you could play without risk to anyone else).

Eventually I found the point at which there’re was no longer the space to catch the slide. Unfortunately I removed a wing and a wheel in the process - none of your namby-pamby dented-pride only nonsense.

Never knew you had a ZX Volcane mik! Always fancied one of the 16vs

Twice for me, both in my Clio valver - once at speed in the Peaks, trying to maintain a good enough pace for the Williams behind me. Thankfully no damage. Other time was fairly slowly on one of the busiest roundabout in Manchester centre during evening rush hour - the guy in the Merc that I ended up face-to-face with seemed both shocked and angry

968, old worn tyres, knackered suspension, <5c, wet roundabout, low speed. Unexpected graceful breakaway of grip at the rear, not enough space to gather it in. Hello nice big soft grassy verge, I'm glad you're not a crash barrier a few "what the fuck is this clown doing?" looks by other users of the roundabout and I was on my way.

Don’t worry, the moment someone points a video camera at your Mustang it’ll head for the bushes, arse first

You can guarantee it.

I’ve driven lots of other peoples RWD cars with big power over the years and I’m yet to have an off moment on the roads in one. Now I own a big power RWD car I just know Sod’s law is it’ll be in that. Although, I did once get an unexpected big tank slapper in it going onto the motorway whilst in the Rain/Snow mode I don’t think that quite makes the cut in this thread

This is the reason I don't have a bike with traction control.

Sad times when you crash a 1.4 car

It looks like you were fortunate that whatever hit the rear quarter didn't hit your door, but as far as impressive crashes go it's a bit like getting nicked for 80 on a motorway. You must be disappoint.
