BIG empty car parks are safer to learn that sort of stuff, tis what B&Q was invented for

[antz]

i did that in the middle of town

 

at the end of the seafront theres a roundabout and it was torrential rain...me being a silyl twat decided to kick it out as i exited but didnt compensate for the wet weather.

 

1st gear, foot to floor, opposite lock...OH SHIT A SIGN POST!!!

 

i slammed on the brakes and managed to stop intime..heard a few gasps from people near by and one doris with her hands over here eyes.

 

 

 

what a muppet ill never do that again

my god

 

thanks for that mate you must have cried your eyes out i would have

[surfingturnip]

ouch

as said rick find a big open space to practice first before hitting the streets

[NginEEr]

i learnt hard too i fooked my mint supersport alloys on my fiesta acting round

[Copey]

have come close to crashin mine before today, i dont fook about quite so much anymore

[MightySprocket]

that sort of driving should be saved for the track... and if you do come unstuck and bend your cars clowning around dont come crying to me

[Vista]

Lucky man

 

Having had a close call years ago broadsiding in snow and I got away with very light damage to the rear wheel arch of my otherwise mint 25'000 mile 2.8i special. Now I don't mess around in mine like that at all, great fun but far too expensive to fix.

agreed

agreed

 

gotta agree there...and yes i am a culprit so ened to tone it down

[MightySprocket]

we've all done it, I do tend to be a 'bit' more sensible now! comes with old age and as my daughters just passed her test... now I know what it is to worry

[bomber1]

in an act of rage last night i got the zodiac very side ways fook that its a big ol beast to have broadside on a corner 4weeks the fookin thing has been off the road and still not right

[bigglesmk2]

2 week's after passing my test i put my first mk2 escort full 360 and ended up on the grass verge,no drop kerb for me tho

 

I looked after my 2 replacement laser alloy's and half shaft after that

[NeilT]

Bugger that i have only been driving RWD for the last 4 mounths and i had a bit of a colon twicher the other day in the rain

 

real sorry to see how you capri ended up

 

and glad to hear some one else had a moment but was like me lucky enough to get away with it

 

im think some empty carpark abuse has to be done

[5hane]

hence why im buying a volvo 340 as a first daily, rear wheel drive (so i can get the feel of it) and if i stack it, i wont mind (too much, ild be more pissed if i had a claim on my insurance ) i would HATE to stack it in the escort

[bronze4door]

i spun my escort in trafford park clowing around one night right across the road and into the curb

 

tuck a chunk out of the rs 4 spoke and bent the half shaft i was more carefull after wards but still try and get the daily sliding

 

its fwd escort so not much joy
