Slightly gutted at the moment. My neighbour drove into my car (Ford Ka), and it was taken off for repair on Monday. I was given a 1.6l sports injection car as the hire car replacement, and once I’d got over garrotting myself on the brakes, I was starting to enjoy the power under my foot (they’ll be a later entry from me about my day at a racing track). However, driving back from my friend’s on Tuesday evening was no so much fun, and therefore could put this entry under the category of snowsports! I slid all over the road on my way up a hill, did a 45 degree handbrake turn into my road (after a 3m skid downhill), and parked my car with relief… which is where it’s sat ever since! With the weather forecast not set to improve, I may not really get any use out of the nice fast car… so I’ll have to take up more performance car days… I’ve always wanted to do a skidpan day – think the guys in this video could do with it too – I wonder where the car ended up!
