Title: A little bit of luck
Post by homer2themax on Jan 20^th, 2009, 11:20pm

As you may or may not know, the beloved Scorpio is in the hands of the better half at the mo due to her Astra throwing its toys out of the pram.
After giving me a lift to work (usual taxi not available) I received a phone call to say she's just spun it 360 degrees on a roundabout.
Apparently some other driver tried to cut her up and not having any of it (true Scorpio driver), she booted it on the turn. No TCS plus wet road equalled a full pirouette auto style.
Luckily no collision occurred and the light of my life is unscathed.

The missus was alright as well lol.

Scorpio has a long way to go to beat the master tho - Mk3 Golf VR6 ;D

Did a full 360 whilst traversing a slightly wet bend at 15 mph - just went without warning....
