tbh i dont know, i remember we was going round a slight bend at 40-50 and it was 70 road and had pissed down all day and i was to scared to go fast due to the type of car it was and as i was coming out of the bend all i remember is the back end sliding out on wet mud and hittin an embankment on my side and thats it and then coming round being stuck upside down with my head hanging out the window and not being able to get back in agen as i took the impact as it rolled and missed the missus side which is what im thankful for tbh, but has poo me up big time with driving and shown me how easy it can happen!!!

so please take it easy people i have had first hand experience and dont want others to experience it either, it happens more easy then you think and you dont have to drive like a complete badger or speed as i found out!

lol theres nothin worse than stalling or crashing lol, never had a crash soo far, touch wood!. best way to wheel spin is lots of revs and ping the clutch lol, well thats how i use to do them, cant do them no more as my cars in my drive until i get my license :(
