Good car, well done car only minor scrapes from the fully out of control spin in that snow which prompted us to turn around and go back to Omeo as we were never making it further than where we turned around.

I'm lucky I only got away with a scrape considering how big of a tank slapper the slide was... and I was going somewhere between 30 & 40km/h when the slide started... looking back over my footage just now you can see the snow cover on the road change from "dusty coverage" to a "thick sheet coverage" and then a second later I make a tiny steering input to stay on my side of the road (it was a gradual left turn) and the car just went into a four wheel slide and I was counter-steering like a mofo with my foot hard on the brake and it was doing nothing other than changing my pattern the tyres left in the snow as I spun around. I'm very happy I didn't end up in the ditch on the right or scraped along the armco on the left and only the rear bumper clipped one of those snow height indicator poles. So close to getting away with it completely, but also so close to a written off car. I count it more as "lucky". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you and your car got away relatively unscathed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
