Default My first "moment"....

Just had my first unexpected "moment" ... was out along Snake Pass with roof down the other night when, as is often the case around there, it dicides to start raining without much notice at all.
Anyways, started to clog it a little harder to find a stopping place and whey hey... coming out of a sharp left hander and applying some toe the back end very suddenley flicked out... instinctively steered to the opposite side and had a quick opposite flick as the car found it's center again.
Will be looking out for that one in future.... still, found a new way of cracking walnuts!

Shame God couldn't have sent you a message that it was going to rain soon. I guess the black clouds didn't give the game away?

It's really weird around there, as the hills are so high and the roads are in the valley bottoms all you can see sometimes is clear blue sky, one turn and a decent speed and the black clouds that the hills tend to hide are right over you.

Mmmm... will be taking things verrry easy in the wet from now on.
