Default The man in the Porsche he say.......

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I had just come off a roundabout on the East Lancs tonight on the way home, 3rd gear, rolled on the power and the rear end let go! However, kept the throttle on and the back end slid perfectly for about 30 meters until it straightened up then off I went! The guy in the Boxter behind stopped next to me at the next set of lights and was laughing his t**ts off!

NOT intentional, but immensley fun and I havn't stopped giggling yet. I won't be trying it again, once is more than enough.

By the way, the tyres are 1500 mile old Metz Z6's

It's even better if you mean it

What was it those kids in the chavmobile said to Dirty Baz? "They brake lights are ****ing minted" High praise indeed.

Had just stopped the first heavy rain for a few days, so th dirt and diesel was lifted out of the road. Plus the roundabout has a petrol station onit and also the exit of an industrial estate. Should have known better really!

Same happened to me after the first rain after the long dry spell. Can't say I was laughing though!
