Probably wrote my car off last nite. Slid in the rain doing about 80-90mph an it went round 180 an i wet backwards down a ditch.... which apart from makin my spankin car dirty, bent the back axel and punctured random holes in the shell. Luckily no0-one was hurt. So be carfeul guys... could happen to you.

ive done the same mate, but did a 540 into a ditch backwards (perfectly lined up with the bank might i add ) on a 'A' road doing 50 with the rest of the traffic and it ripped the underneath of my back bumper and that was about it. Couldnt claim off insurance for damages because there wasnt really any 
Atleast my Big mac and coke was still intacted in the paper bag - i ate it as the copper and ambulance came
oh wells, shit happens mate, hope your alright and your car is ok

lol @ Locust i didnt have anyone in the car, which was lucky i suppose but i didnt suffer from abit of a bad back as the car hit the bank at 30 odd and the drivers seat completly bent Worst thing was of my little 540 trip was that i came head-to-head with an artic lorry have way through and a copper (who was behind me) said that i was lucky to have not hit the thing, otherwise i would have died due to the 100 odd impacted....all good fun eitherway
paul - i wouldnt have liked to be in your position then, i would have shat my pants

i lost my car on a damp road almost a year ago on a road i had driven hudreds of times before and i mean hundreds. always took it like a nutter late at night with no one else in the car. but one night i didnt make it out of the other side of the twist bits.
thought some thing was in the road hit the brakes mid bend (i know i know stuipd) back end stepped out couldnt get it back spun round clipped the curb spun it road the oppostite direction in the air down a bank and in to a hegde.
car was on its side i was in the middle of no where hanging in my seat 
i was so dazzzed and confused i got out of the car (by climbing up the car out of the passengers door and stood at the side of the road not knowing what had happend!
Wont be doing that again in a hurry!

i rolled my car 6 times in a field when i lost control in the rain, roof caved in, bonnet and windscreen fell off, front axle bent, spare wheel hit the back of my seat and i ended up upside down. and when i awoke from hitting my head all i could hear was the engine hittinhg the rev limiter as something was jamed in the engine bay making my car rev and peter andre- mystrious girl blaring out on the radio. i got out alive with out anything but a bump on me head and a sore neck and back.
i didnt care that i was a write off cos it was a old escort, but beacuse it was a ford and they arent the safest things 17 yr old escorts i thought i was gonna die when the roof caved in

I had a crash last week..
Hit a rock on the road whilst doing 50mph around a bend. Couldn't brake until i'd straightened the car up else it would've spun and by the time i straightened it out and got control, it was too late as the cars infront had all stopped and created a tailback from the upcoming junction. Was either go into wrng lane and risk hitting another vehicle head on, crash into back of car infront or go into the hedge. As i only have TPFT insurance i chose the hedge to save my NCB. 
Got off lightly though. Minor damage to the car, was able to drive it away from the scene, and ended up costing me £30 to put right - still got a tiny dint and few scratches though.

I'm not trying to start another dangerous driving arguement, but you don't do 90mph anywhere in wet weather.
But if you want pics hosting, send them to hoboshavefeelingstoo@gmail.com
