Well, I've popped my cherry: Had a bit of a 'tail out' moment in my 300 - first time and i've had it for a month so far.

 

Just a little too eager on the loud pedal whilst driving on a damp road. Car said to me 'OK, look, I'm sliding to the left'. I registered mild shock and turned in a smidge, easing off a little on the throttle. Car said 'OK, I'm straightening up, I'm straightening up, wooops, I've gone a little too far to the right now!' I corrected a little more - no sudden movements. Car said 'OK, there we go. I'm gripping again.' I slowed down a lot.

 

I think I was fairly lucky that it was a more or less straight road (I was straightening up from a corner at the time. If it was a roundabout I'd probably have done a bit of damage! It's taught me a valuable lesson though, and I feel I'm getting a little more intimate with the car. Nuff respect to it though!

 

Russ.

happens all the time to me now!! :rolleyes: :D its kinda fun when you want it to happen, no so much fun when its unexpected

Ah, what a special moment, my eyes are welling up, sniff sniff.

 

Few more times by accident and then you'll be dong it on purpose I reckon, just to show off.

 

WOO........ look at me!! oops, parked car there.
