    360 spin on duel carrigeway

    I have to take my hat off to Renault for making a car that sticks to the road like glue!
    Was on the way home today, went to take over someone in front on the carrigeway, and someone was coming up on my side, so i had to quickly pull back into the left hand lane, but i was going quicker than the person in front so i had to get past him to avoid crashing into the back of him, so i had to go up the left hand side of him on the stones, car had no traction on them what so ever, so got back into the left hand lane, car swirved to the left, didnt wanna smack into the banister so i went right, car skidded to the right, then went into a full 360 spin, wheels screeching like a baby pig, i was hoping to god it didnt flip but the car didnt even have one wheel leave the floor and i took that skid at 60mph! Finally the car came to a holt (in the fast lane) smoke everywhere, still running whiper blades on, left indicator on (must of hit them on when i was s**itting my pants, and then i drove on car was fine, tyres still in good nick and car wasnt buckled, so i have to say a big thank you to Renault for making such a dam fine car and God for not letting me flip it and die. And that noone was in the fast lane when i came to a stop otherwise i would of died as well as the person crashing into me.

    I swear that was the most scary moment of my life, could of cried (if i wasnt such a man ) but forget Volvo, get a Clio, that was amazing

    Drive Safe

    The only time I've spun on the road and got away with it was in a 205. Lift-off oversteer, and went rearwards over a curb onto a roundabout island :P

    Thats not how you hit a lampost, this is how you do it





    Shunted by a focus, 180 degree spin in the wet and siweaways inot the lmapost, bounce up the kerb, car was about 3ft int eh air when it hit, you can see teh dents on the lampost
