alot of us have spun out etc^^^^ just some of us r lucky to escape without damage. shouldnt cost too much! be careful buddy.... i was racin a boy in an escort once, he enterd a corner far too fast and slammed on his brakes! (worst thing to do) as i was up his arse i had to anchor on! he spun out and wrote his car off into a tree. and i bounced off a curb and scuffed my wheel! im lucky really! it calmed me down

Don't claim on your insurance then, fix it yourself.

it would only be your rear brake tensioner if it was lowered! and if u applied ur brakes! must have been ice/deisel etc.

unlucky really, ive had some dealings with ice, once you lock up thats it really, unless you have quick reactions to cadence braking and some abs. put it down to experience.

standard corsas handle like shite! get a gsi and a decent suspension setup and ull be laughing! try not to claim tho m8. i was payin 1400 pounds for my first year then it halved to 700, its a big differance! prob b cheaper to fix it yourself in the longrun!

WOuld have been diesel or ice. Remember that ice begines to form a 3 degrees so even when you are above the freezing point there is a possibility of there being ice on the road.

lil_g04, what corsa is it you have at the moment ?

And Mike, about the standard corsa handling shit, i agree. I have a 1l 12v and although it's not fast... i still have to go really slow arround corners. It's standard with 13" wheels
