was on wandsworth roundabout last night when I unwittingly gave the loud pedal very slightly too much to get through a gap & ended up sideways for quite a long time before I recovered it. Most unlike me, sorry.

Took ages to clean the seats afterwards too

I gave mine a bit too much at traffic lights Tuesday morning - back end fish-tailed, ASR kicked in and I ended up 3 cars back before I recovered

'Course, I pretended I meant to do it.

Were you in Sports mode, Craig?

phew - glad you got away with it mate - it's real heart in mouth stuff around that roundabout at the best of times even without going sideways!

The Lotus boys had a run in Bristol last weekend which saw a few of them going around the roundabouts in the city centre sideways.

Good fun as long as you dont hit anything

Sh'yeah right Craig.

There's was a fit bird on the pavement wasn't there...we know.

My TC can be defeated on wet roundabout's as well, no problem.
