:oops: I got a bit lax on my favourite corner for wagging the tail... :(

I blame the cage coming out reducing the chassis stiffness :lol:

Anyway I slightly overcorrected to the right when the back went out then did the same to the left :oops: back end went off roading and took out a few saplings but I was lucky not to completley leave the road.

It sounded nasty at the time but damage is limited to a bent tailpipe, a nurburgring-esque scratch on the tailgate and some marks that will polish out on the drivers side....phew that could have been expensive!

Translation: Had a slight tank-slapper but exited the corner maximising the width of the road. :D

Hmm I had incidents when I took all the stuff off the back to lighten it - always relearn the arse!

Sapling killer!

I bet that was a stomach churning moment. I had a similar experience on Friday, but in someone else's car :oops: :wink:

:oops:

I'm just glad we didn't have saplings and other such foliage to encounter once we'd ventured off track.
