 Worst lose

I've never had an accident before, but last night I came pretty close. A combination of very wet roads, I was coming home from the pub, having read some of the whacked stories in these forums (yeah, its all your fault  ) and not exactly having my brother say, 'Go slow,' led to me punching out of a two laned round-about early, I was turning right, and starting to get some drift. Not bad I thought. The it got abit wider, I snapped it back, car starts really sliding now, a snap back again, hopeless attempt at a save, then I just let inertia take over and spin the car 180 and I was facing the wrong way  Lucky there was no-one closely following me, otherwise it could have been nasty.
So what are your best, or worst, loses?

Well to start i had a bald 13" tyre on the drivers side and 14" on the rest(which resluts in lost of diff bounce) and was going to have a bit of a run with my mate in his VK commo (it was a manual went pretty good) so we where coming out of a servo on to a two lane road he was in front of me he screams of down the road while im tying to get some traction (it was wet) i finally did and he was a good 300meters away so i was flooring it down this long 2 way road i was in third cathing up doing about 120 when we (me and my mates in the car)
where coming to a bend i looked and all i could see was water
(a huge puddle they had the sprinklers going)so as soon as i went threw it the arse end kicked out so i slamed on the breaks (i was doing like 90) and the car was wanting to fishy but i just held it sliding down the two lane road for about a 100m on a full 90 degree angle my mates where hanging out the window going your rugh your right so it finaly stopped still on a 90 degree angle with a big cloud of smoke behind us i sat there for a minute heart thumping going how did i not hit anything (theres a huge retaing wall the whole way down and thick trees in the middle seperating the 4 lanes ( 2 each way).
The next morning i went and looked at my tires id flat spoted all 4 i went and checked out the skid marks (no not in my daks  ) they went for ages you can still faintly see them.
When i drove past them with my missus in the car she said someone must have had an accident i said nah just loss of traction

coronamark2... SPELLING!
we're.. not where
through, not threw (or thru as a bare minimum)
brakes, not breaks (brakes stop your car from breaking)
you're right, not your right.
sheesh, even I'm not that bad (when I'm sober anyhow )
gtman.. if you want to see more check the "war stories and track talk" section... there's loads in there.
including me losing the arse of the supra at 110, and overcorrecting into a fence, and coming away with a cracked bumper and nohting more

You write stuff when your drunk? You must got to some wild parties
And if your such a spelling nazi
should'nt your picture say gun's and rose's if your such a grammar freak.
i dont bother spell checking it because i figured you might put 2 & 2 together and translate where into we're.
sorry mis hoover

ugh
guns n' roses
no apostrophe, because they're plurals
the n' is an abbreviation of and, accepted as more sensible than 'n' (which is technically correct)
I usually get drunk, get driven home, then have to waste a few hours before sleeping (to avoid the technicolour yawn)
