Have you checked the tread on your tyres....and if so is there any left?"We act as though comfort and luxury are the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about” – Albert Einstein0

Total guess, but ...
OP came off a r'bout;
hit oily water;
front end started to slide;
OP remembered about powering into a slide (even though this is the wrong context);
OP booted it without turning into the slide and went spinning
Of course I could be completely wrong0 -
I went into a big spin while driving round a mini-roundabout a few days ago. No damage to anything but very disconcerting. The road was a bit wet, but there was no standing water. I think I was braking, but I wasn't going excessively fast. What could have been the cause? Wafer on the road? Some oil on the road that I didn't see? A problem with the ABS? I would prefer that it didn't happen again.
Thanks.
You shouldn’t be braking during the turn, you should get your speed right before you start turning so that you only have to steer through it.0 -
TFF.
Too !!!!ing Fast.
A bit like this. A BMW I observed over three years ago.:rotfl:
