Dropped into 3rd planted foot & good 'ol RWD sent me left, then right etc all over the shot.
Scary thing was i was in the middle lane & was going sideways back & forth so much I nearly hit the lorry in the slow lane & the car i was gonna race on the outside lane.
OJC's mate was holding on for dear life, luckily it straightened up & we pootled home at 60mph, until a Cossie came past anyways 
this happened to me , now any motorway thats wet i drive on the inside lane at 60 -70

i sat down on a wet toilet seat and lifted my left leg up, this resulted in sending me sideways, until i gripped the bog roll holder and sorted things out..
always wipe the seat now..

few o mine:
1. driving at 120mph in ma dads veccy wi the L plates on it - the look on his face!
2. just got the corsa on the road and first time i'd got to drive it so me n mate take it up the road to show it off. cruising the streets wi the windows down then ma m8 in his fiesta zetec wants a race. so went out to quiet b road and razzed it along there 100mph+, forgot to put windows up so it was a bit windy and hadny screwed the speakers in the parcel shelf and they kept jumpin out!
3. deep snow so put ma dads wheels on my cars, 15's wi 195/65 tyres!! up to remote car park for some drifitng action, while laffing at ma m8 who got stuck in his nova and cudnt move anywhere!
4. another snow story. bn out cruising and coming home. roads had been cleared so was sitting at 60mph, came round corner and road was covered in drifts of snow from field at side of the road! dipped the clutch and hoped for the best!
5. out with m8s in another town and this guy is followin me in a mazda 323 fastback. i went into a car park to turn and he turns at the entrance. came out onto the road and hes drivin along at 10mph tryin to tempt me to race. i drop back from him a bit, dump it to first and boot it past him before he knows whats happened!
6. headin into dundee along a90, sittin at 90mph and not noticing the big polis beemer sitting up a country track at the side of the road. bugger!
not had many scary moments thankfully, but iv no even been drivin a year yet.

I don't have 10. .
1. My 306 going in a straight line while the steering was on a full lock to the right.
2. 80 down the A17, only to find just round the corner the traffic was completely stationary.

The funniest moment for me was when I spun my RST on a big roundabout near welwyn, went round 180 degrees and came to rest facing the wrong way with a queue of traffic all looking at me and shaking their heads disapprovingly!! 
I think I won them over with the quick J turn I performed and shot off!!.
Oh and the police yelling at me for not pulling over for 0.6 miles at 100mph.

So i just thought quickly (and prob not the best way) and booted it to pass them.... on the wrong side of the road with cars coming towards us.... my ears hurt for a while after her screaming
it was a fecking road sweeper that pulled out and as u booted it to pass it with the oncoming car we was also fast approachin a roundabout that if i remember u hit at about 80 and slid round
me??? never Never mind cracking the bumper 30mins out of the bodyshop then back into it on monday and doing a burnout on that wee road with andy and ross in the corsa behind
ross - yup... that was eventfulll... woke up 30mins late for RRday.. cought the folk up, passed them, then spun on a roundabout. They then passed me facing the wrong way

Not ten but favourite moments in each of my motors:-
1st Car - Rover 214 SLi
Going round a corner a wee bit quickly, the suspension was terrible and I went off the road, over an embankment, missed a ditch by about a inch. Stopped, got out and prompty fell on the ground. Lady at side of road laughed.
2nd Car - Shitroen ZX
Showing off to my mate, give the handbrake a wee tub going round a roundabout, got it all wrong and ending up facing the wrong way with my back bumper an inch from a lamp post
3rd Car - Corsa
Coming back from Strathy one night, racing a Pug 205 GTi. Had just fitted my 17" rims, came round a corner, lifted off, it went all wrong and I ended up looking in his side window at 40mph. Shat it. then got the car stuck in a ditch later on while attempting a handbrake turn on grass
4th Car - Cunto
Coming off a roundabout (again) in Falkirk, going a wee bit fast. Back end just popped out and I went full on sideyways past a bus queue. I laughed at the old woman who dropped her handbag.
Oh and overtaking a car full of neds when I took Kindnesses Corsa out for a spin

I've got a couple that I can think about,
1st - I was racing a 106 gti only 3 days after I got the corsa and was neck and neck with him at 130mph (the 106 was'nt standard) and got to the 200yrd marker and slammed on the brakes at which point the pedal decided to fade and go straight to the floor, I ended up hitting the roundabout at about 40 which pulled my exhaust off, blew my driver side tyre out and cracked the insine passerger one, al this while the missus was screaming her head off which made me a tad nervous on impact.
2nd place was when I was racing an R32 Golf with trade plates on while the guy, salesman and the guys son were takin it out for a test drive, it was the first one I saw since they came out and I saw him boot it away from a roundabout and thought that it was quite impressive and decide to catch up, when I got behind him in traffic we came out of a small village and I booted it past him and the car infront and looked in my mirror and thought "bollocks, he dosnt want to play" I slowed down for the next village and halfway through I looked in my mirror again only to see him right up my ass, we came out of the village and I just put it in 3rd and floored it expecting him to come roaring past but to my amazment he was struggling to keep up, I pulled away on the corners then slowed down for him to catch up just before this huge straight once on it I floored it again only to see him getting smaller in my rearview mirror, once the fun was over he followed me into the garage and all of them got out of the car and just pissed themselfs in dis-belief that a corsa GSI could beat them, I eventually gave in and told them what I had under the bonnet.
