roundabout carnage

[rob77]

Photo's of my poor baby after going sideways through a roundabout. Didnt see it, no give ways signs or roundabout signs, a lamppost was out one was lit but it wasnt enough. Locked up the brakes the car went sideways as I tried to steer around the rounabout, blew the drivers side rear tyre and then beached itself on the far corner in some sand between the kerb and the footpath. It seems I was quite lucky, the sideskirt is beyond repair I think, and I had to put some new rubber on (so I went ahead and put the 2 18" rims I had on the rear) though it seems I need a wheel allignment as anything over 100km/hr and the wheel vibrates.

Thats the thing though it wasnt drift damage, I wasnt trying to drift. I've never attempted to drift on the road before because it'll end up in tears.

Scarey. I wouldnt want to be driving on it too much, cant do more than 80km/hr and even then I was only doing 70km/hr just to make sure I got home ok. Seriously its about 1/4 the width of the new 265/35 rubber.
