I rarely loose control of a car (badly) as i consider my self quite a reserved and carefull driver and rarely go near the limits of the car, however last night through the empty lanes i hit a long sweeping right hand a bit hard and the back of my r5 lost traction, it hooked around and i gave it full left lock to try to keep it from 180°, i slid onto the other side of the road at this point 90° out facing the hedge and continued to slide whilst the front bumper just whipped at the hedge. When the car finally stopped and i unpuckered my arse cheeks i reversed the car back and continued on my way.. only damage is a 2cm scuff on the lower edge of the front bumper.
Ive only had 2 close ones in 3 years of driving so i think thats pretty good, still though i dont plan to outright bin anything anytime soon so maybe ill slow dwn coming into that corner next time.
