driving down the A6 southbound (bedford) area and the cars back end stepped out (dont ask me how, coz i cant remember much), and ended up facing an on coming artic lorry, then got into a 360 before the car went backwards into a ditch  .....luckily i wasnt going that fast (50 max) but the coppers and my old man said that if i hit the lorry, i would have been in hospital or dead, so nice to know that i got away with it 
Oh wells, the car is in perfect condition, apart from mud up the sills where it was resting against the bank of the ditch and a bit of mud up the exhaust, but damn dont u hate it when it rains  Plus my double whooper and fries got cold, coz i had to wait for coppers....although all 5 of them were very nice and so was the adsa driving and a UPS bloke and lady 
Off too pick it up tomorrow, so its all good in the end

Sounds weird.
I hate the rain with a passion, did an engine conversion Sunday outside, and it only stopped when we went for lunch.

same here mate problem is i was doing 50 and the lorry was doing around 50-60 so that would have meant an impact of 100mph  and i dont think the corsa would have taken that impact, so i would have either come out with loads of broken bones or been dead that why i was thinking "shite, get the car off the road", but it spun out
although i would have left with brown stains in me pants if i had a blow out on the M1 70mph and the car going around...lol sod that for giggles hope ur alright though mate
