Colin Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I had a hileriously unfunny close call about 4 months ago. Was driving from my mates flat home in the dead of night through Belfast centre, and ways, the main part of the junctions leading up to the motorway outta the city is 6 lanes wide, so of course being a bit silly I was driving a bit over the 30 mph limit.......... And it was wet..... Any ways, driving along and suddenly I remembered the fact that there is an enorumous 6 lanes into 3 lanes "r " shaped turn about 40 feet infront of me! Anyways, colin heads into the cornor at around about 60 mph, feels the cars front wheels not turning, gives it full lock, grabs the handbrake, swings the car around in my best sega rally style, ends up with a sorta kick ass powerslide in the wet and then just in my moment of triumph............ I feel the back end going.......... I spin the car, at least 3 or 4 times, shits pants, and end up facing the right direction with the car stalled and a bunch of chinese people on a tour bus I just span past clapping their hands and pissing themselves laughing! Worst part was, i would have been the classic wet ground into a hedge fecking big wall, and I dunno if id be here if it had have been! Luck, would be an understatement!
