For the first time today I got my Lagonda sliding!

O.k. it was wet today and I had to make it a bit quick before this truck. I had to turn to the left in a busy street. I must have mistakenly thought I was in my Tesla. I accelerated and the wheels just spinned and it got me just right 90 degrees to the left without much steering, or let s say just a bit of counter steering. Impressive.

I like to describe the car as 'poised' in the wet.
I had a similar experience once at a junction in the rain in London. Too much power on my part but the rear just whipped round and straightened up.

Hi guys, these are Cars which means they can be USED, and after all they are Aston Martins *not misspelled la da

I experienced the same this morning, when driving 13476 for a test drive on the wet. But the reaction of the rear axle - just a bit slippering- is safe and amusing... Cool

I just hit the back of cars a head of me.... Mad

Mostly when I get to the belgium/Dutch border... I get so confused with my origins... Am I of Dutch descent... or is it Flemish... No it's the back of a white Peugeot...No slide required!

Bloody Hell Francis ! !

Have you done much damage to her?

Is this your subtle way of telling us that Alvira is eligible for your new survivors trophy now twice over ? ? ?

Keith

P.S. Note To Myself: In France, make sure Francis ALWAYS leaves the car park before I do. LOL.

Thank God no! Last yerar was plenty enough for Alvira! She is resting in Switzerland at this point waiting to come and meet her sisters in a month.

Will you have the damaged repaired in time?

The damage was repaired in Belgium just after it happened. She got a full body repaint so she is gleaming!

Coo, That was quick.

You had the accident on Saturday near the Belgium / Dutch border : Had repairs done in Belgium including a full body re-spray : And now today she is in Switzerland.

Have you discovered time travel or something?

I have just realized that when you said "I just hit the cars ahead of me" that you are not referring to a "New" accident.

Doh ! !

I will still wait for you to leave the car park first before me in France.

You are cruel with my beloved Alvira... She will not park next to your car in Britanny! Sad

It is not Alvira that I am worried about. It is just her jinxed owner. LOL. Razz
