Were you actually coming off the roundabout or in a straight line? If you were in a straight did it lose it on VTEC?

Glad you are OK and nobody else was involved. Cars can be replaced.

Sorry to hear this


I'm also interested in what happened, what gear you were in etc.

I think the main point is this..

I am more cautious when it just starts raining..i.e. damp than when it's full wet.. since you have combination of the surface oil/residues and water mixing together..

and the car really hates mixed levels of grip.. i.e. one rear wheel seeing more traction than the other.. and LSD weighs in with some unhelpful input..even in a straight line it can give you an interesting time ...

hope the insurance sorts it out OK.

Glad you're alright, mate - I hope everything gets sorted out properly.

I have to question you though - WTF? It's July!
