Its also the "where you look is where you go" rule. Wet, dark, narrow road, roundabout front wheel drive - concrete pole - youre thinking I gotta avoid that pole, I gotta avoid that pole but youre looking at the pole so youre driving at the pole - wham.

I found your problem straight away after looking at your photos....in photo no 30, right under the wiper switches..........it should say " Go Hard!'...only in the day time when it is dry!! :wink:

This is now a good time to fix the main problem with your car....and convert it to a round nose :P :P :P

Gees mate bad luck. Well join the club my car has primer on the back, a buckled boot floor and a buckled rear quarter panel. :) I gently nudged an embankment, backwards!

Strange, its been raining the last few days, I went round a roundabout and the car span out backwards. Must be the hydro.

Well I *could* have kept her pointing the right way, but there was no traffic so I just let it spin out. I bet the Barina I was following had a bit of a laugh! I'm getting pretty good at keeping the nose pointing the right way now, since it oversteers so often now (I think it may have something to do with my driving style - hard on throttle into corner, back right off, get it sideways, all the time cheering :lol: )

<edit> It's harder in the wet though, hard to rely on the front tyres actually gripping. They're Bridgestones!
