Im not gonna make any excuses here - I lost it :(
Out with a friend last night on our way to shoot some pool. It was the first time he'd been in the Sierra, and as I arrived at the start of the M/way decided to flick the back end about a little :)
Cool, Dropped the car in on a nice drift round to the left, and feinted it round to the right coming off the roundabout on to the M/way.
Was carrying a bit of speed by now, and backed off a bit to get her straight again, but the car snapped and fish tailed a few times - gradually building the pendulem effect.
On about the 4th flick it went too much, and was totally sideways heading for the central reservation :( The front end clipped the barrier and spun the rear end in also. The last thing said before we impacted was "Ohhhhhh .......... Fvck" From my mate :D
The car - although drivable, is written off, the front n/s headlight, indicator, bumper and wing are all damamged :( The rear n/s 1/4 has been pushed in about 18", and fades up to the passenger door :eek: The boot floor is bent, though the barrier was about 3 feet high, and so went above the wheel, and all thats stopping it driving is no n/s rear lights :)
Thankfully it wasnt the 2*****, and only the Sierra which I got dead cheap - so Im not really that bothered.
Looking out for a new one now and fit the LSD over chrimbo, as I obviously need more practise ;)
