Almost a total disaster!

[2strokebloke]

Speaking of close calls, nearly the same thing happened to me a few days ago, it was an uphill 90 degree turn, I was going 40 and didn't see that there was water on the corner until I was right on top of it. A little fishtailing, some frantic steering and a right foot glued to the floor put everything back in order - good thing nobody was coming from the oposite direction!
And just a couple days ago, I very nearly rolled an elderly Renault Le Car (R5) going around an uneven corner a bit to fast - I'm still surprised I didn't end up upside down, and it's a good thing too, as I didn't bother with seatbelts while driving it.
Anyway good tires are no replacement for a good driver, it's good thing you were good enough to get everything back under control without destroying property or senior citizens.

Spec - I'll do you a favour. I'll take both your 18" rims and 17" rims, whack 'em on the Rolla and let you know my pick and why

I should also mention that I will be keeping both sets in return for this service.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. My heart stopped when I got the phone call informing me about this. Guess driving in the GTt in the wet will have to be just like my 25t when I had those crappy GT radials on it. Get beaten by nanas in Daihatsus if it's wet

Lol, like my CRX in the wet when I had the standard 14 inch rims on it, not even the "Wet power control" button (aircon, which stole power) helped me take off at the lights without more wheelspin than I can get in the dry on purpose.

I'm glad no harm befell you. You're going to need a lighter touch to keep that little beast on the road.

The important thing is that Spec is okay. The next important thing is that the CAR is okay.

Someone needs to be more gentle on the "skinny pedal".

yep - I was so relieved that nothing bad had actually happened. Still not quite over it though. She's not allowed to do that again. Going sideways is one thing if you mean to (not that we ever do, occifer ), but when you're not expecting it, it's totally different. Just as well the motorway was relatively clear, and the cars that were there were all in the far left lane.

The scary thing was that I didn' really give it that much either.

Don't know if I want to do any modifications to make it faster!

[Ssom]

Here's an idea- I give you my FWD Civic and I'll take your RWD Skyline- fair trade right?


least you won't lose it in the wet again
