Not only that, but i managed to fall of the road while going in a straight line. I pull out to pass a Sunday driver on a straight NSL country road, but get too hard on the power before straightening up the wheels.
Back steps out, I correct (most likely over correct, but it felt like i had caught it) then as i was sliding diagonally rather than straight, the rears slipped onto the wet grass verge and i pirouetted.
One roadsign later and I have a very dented front end

It doesn't feel stable at motorway speeds. So I'll probably get the alignment double-checked...
Oh, here's the video.

As I said, massive over correction, then massive over correction again to avoid the lamp post!!

It's not a purpose built sports car though really. Think of all the parts bin raiding.
