Imagine how much worse it would have been if it was one of those crappy plastic bumpers?

It may not be that bad but the car was compleatly straight before the crash barrier lept out at me. I also would have not been so anoyed if I had been driving like a d1ck and not pottering allong minding my own business when it happened.

Did you get to the loo in time?
All that Pacer and Andyboy action must make controlling your 'back end' difficult!

Its a roundabout with a nasty camber on the way out a couple of people i know have had off there but I had just come of the roundabount the back end steped out without any of the normal understear warning i cought it the first time with a bit of oposite lock but this then meant I was heading strait for a crash barrier so I had to use the brakes and turn and at this point it span the other way one and a half times and went into the crash barrier backwards.

Yes I had not noticed this until this after noon but the rear tires are both directional and they both on the wrong way. This wasn't me but at some point before I bought the car the rear wheels have been put on the wrong side, although I am having to pay the price for not picking this up in the seven months that I a have owned the car.
Its not a mistake I will be making again.

I've heard of people put the directional tyres on the wrong way to try and make it easier to throw them out, but then some people are just daft.
