Glad all the dubs are ok and only pride was hurt. Remember you blokes that its winter now and wet roads are VERY slippery.

very slippery for my ****ty non directional tread firestone "fuel savers" that give me no grip wat so ever in 1st and 2nd.....

i want new tyres.
closest i've come its accelerating way to hard around a corner in the wet with my fronts ablaze understeering me ever closer to the gutter... lucky i lifted off... not a close call but im learning the limits of my car.
it grips better now that i upped the tyre pressures.

ii spun out on a right hander and ended up doing a 180 and was lucky enough to miss the curb and no oncoming traffic.... and to top it all off it happened in the space between my second last and last hsc exam

on my old mk1 i got the front lip for it, it lasted 2 days after hitting a rabbit about a foot of it on the drivers side gone, then a week after that i spun it on a back road hit an oil patch when i t was pissing down. The back spun out i was going sideways for a bit then i got grip and rocketed off onto the grass and smashed the rest of the lip off.

i was in the passenger seat when we went for a little spin... it was kind of funny when a car came around the roundabout behind us, because it stopped, but i was facing the driver of the other car.. i didnt know wether to wave or laugh or look apologetic.. so i just tried to act natural and avoided eye contact till aydan started back up and drove off.... hahah.. worst bit was driving away from the roundabout not knowing how much damage was done... just glad he doesnt drive a beema or merc

well i've had a productive tuesday. man, even if i had comp insurance, it wouldnt have got my car fixed as well, cheaply and fast as i just has been. im about 3 coatings and sandings of primer filler away from no visible damage....

buggered tho!

also, the crash folded my tailpipe a bit, so i took off the rear box and put a straight 2.25 pipe instead for the time beign - sounds awesome!
