[MOTORHEAD]

Literally !! Got my reg and plates last tues, so on thurs went to get gas. Came up to a roundabout with a truck towing a boat in front of me. I knew the exit I wanted was single lane, so unless I wanted to follow this truck/trailer combo for miles, I needed to pass him in the circle in the outboard lane.Did that, no problem, turned rt into the exit and gave it some throttle headed straight. Wham! Snap spun, hit the right side curb, up and over into the dirt without flipping ! I was not hurt, got out and checked the car, no obvious damage. Carefully drove out of dirt, back over curb, went on my way.
Rear tires are old bfg's, so this is not totally unexpected, but I think it was more the LS rear, and the fact that this section of road is in the middle of many acres of farmland with loose sand topsoil which was blowing over the road surface at the time due to high winds at the time.
more on this later.
