Hard luck mate. If police drivers are anything like their bikers that's scary. Some of the best in the country.

Diesel is a nightmare though, I remember coming back from the Yorkshire meet one night last year and something had spread diesel all down the motorway, off the sliproad, around the roundabout and down a dual carriageway - at the bottom of this was a pile of cars next to another roundabout

It was plain frightening to drive on, I ended up calling the police and they closed the road while a cleaning crew was sent out....

[westham2306]

was ( luckely) on my own... no damage to me( not a scratch)
just thankfull no-one else involved, ..kin scary tho..
i have been trained on skid pans etc, and this one happened sooo fast, just no time to re-act.....
just a bit miffed that my baby,s hurt

ke i posted on here i had a simmilar incident large roundabout...hammering it down with rain 3/4 of the way round a big manhole cover i was accelerating off the roundabout as that was my exit... backend went and was heading towards a lampdost/central reservation,tried to steer to correct it...oversteered and slowly slid into the metel railings that are at the edge of the pavment,luck has it i hit ring in the middle of a panel(the softest part) so all it did was rip my nosecone dent the eye lid and break a foglamp ans sidelight/indicator...

i must admit as ther is nothing you can do to stop it and you are just sat there waiting for that awful BUMP its scares the xxxx out of you....

i still remember it now.....

Stick with the red, good luck with the rebuild, doesn't look too difficult.

[Andy K]

was sorry to see that, glad you are ok though,could have been worse.

mate, if you need a hand taking it all off to see what's damaged etc, let me know, and I'll pop over and give you a hand, as you know i've just had my front in bits and know how it all comes apart.

have you SORN'd it off to anywhere undercover?, is it actually Off Road?
I maybe able to help with a off road location if you're stuck.
Cheers
Andy

Blimey chap, looks rough. Glad you're OK though.

If it's an 'out of town' roundabout I have heard there is a bit of a craze at the moment to put diesel down to aid idiots practising their 'drift' skillz.

I've gone through a large puddle of spilt diesel before, and found I had no brakes half a mile later! That stuff is evil. Worth being careful out there guys.
