 i was driving back home about 20 mins ago, and as i came up to a roundabout, i was behind a Porsche Boxter.
The exit that we were both taking is a sort of 90 degrees and then straight off, actually quite a good corner  .
The next thing i know, he tries to power out, and ends up facing me. I am sure this has happened to many people, but iv never actually seen anyone do it.
He looked all embarrassed and sort of crept off, but i was laughin...highlight of the journey.
Thats all

yea, he was a mid twenties guy, and his face was a picture, especially when he crept away. There was another 2 cars aswell as me, so there were a few people looking at him

RWD takes a while to get used to, first instinct is to take away the power in a slide, but that makes it worse as it will snap back on you. After a while you know to keep the power applied and your reactions are quick enough to catch the slide and correct it.

Remember my mate who is a spoilt badger was insured on his oldmans 330 coupe when he passed his test. He took a load of us out cruising and as you do (although you shouldn't) turned of the traction control. 1st round about tried to show off to some girls behind us......red faces in the BMW and the afore mentioned girls telling pretty much the whole of South West Scotland. Marty has never lived it down
