What did you do with whatever else you've got?

Defo kill me. Been round that corner hundreds of times, today, it decides to completely lose the rear end, go sideways along the road (nearly rolling), before trying to spit me off the road backwards. Impressive skidmarks all round!

Did you happen to take foot off accelerator by chance instead of on it some more?

No, but as it went sideways, I hit the clutch - I didn't want iot going in a field!! As the car came to a halt, I found my foot was still locked on the accelerator, revving away! I definitely had the foot off the clutch when the arse kicked out, as I was trying to apply corrective steering.

How are your rear wheel bearings? I've had a borrowed mk2 Jetta sideways in just the same situation due to a rear wheel jamming with the side loads. Got home to find the bearing knackered. Would've been nice of the lad to tell me beforehand.  :rolleyes
