mattanna Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Coming home from work this eve in the Aristo, roads wet, thought must be careful, bloke goes past me in a Lexus gs450h like an idiot approaching a tight roundabout, right hander that leads on to a 2 lane 1/2 mile slip road onto bypass, ect was on, got round the roundabout and accelerated not full throttle, whole back end of car went swung right then left, i go into an embankment which has a 2 foot wide gravel base thinking i am going to flip the car, steered out of it somehow foot of gas and end up back on slip road 180 degrees round facing the opposite way, if anything else had been coming up it they would have gone head on into me, 5 sec later 4 cars came hurtling past, gravel all across carriageway, car did not stall so i drove to a slip way, no damage at all anywhere but one side of car looks like Colin Macrae drove it home, waited a minute then drove home carefully, roads were greasy and the bitch caught me out, i have learnt a valuable lesson, bloke in the 450 must have had good traction control because he flew around the roundabout, bast**d:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattanna Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 The old life was flashing before me it was a serious business and the asshole was twitching like a bunny's nose, most cars are doing 80mph plus on that slip road and it is obviously one way only, on a dry day i would have had the 450 man!! did not even get chance to go after him!!!, i am running about 290/300bhp at the wheels and those roads were like weasel shit, amazing the difference when the road is dry, just did not expect it:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Bad news this weather. On the good side - I DID IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SUPRA!!! (Get your minds out of the gutter FFS) Coming round a carpark exit (one way road) in second on the tiptronics I thought I'd boot it as the road was nicely damp. For the first time ever I managed to catch and control the slide with the throttle. :D I know some of you kids have been doing this for ages but for an old fart like me it was a proud moment.

Guigsy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 last time i tried to catch a slide i over corrected and the car snapped arround ripped the tyre off the rim scraped the alloy to fuck on the curb, and that was on a dry day. I must prefer to get it going strait and booting it. i have less chance of hitting something Be carefull people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I know some of you kids have been doing this for ages but for an old fart like me it was a proud moment. It'd be a proud moment if I did too, but I generally don't go around trying. I'm happy knowing that I can leave most cars on the road standing if I want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
