Re: [doc] I think I wrote my 911 off tonight...

Hi Dan,
       Glad your OK, sounds like you hit some diesel or oil.
I had a near miss in my first car with this. It nearly did a 360
under brakeing. Lucky it was 4wd and I hit the gas rather than
staying on the brakes and it straightened up.
 All the best

That resulted in a wrecked alloy wheel and a broken O/S halfshaft (I 
*think* that's right....I was only a comparative nipper at the time). 
The car is back on the road today, good as new, still a show-stopper 
with only 17K miles on the clock. Obviously, landing the 911 in a 
ditch a slightly worse affair, but fingers crossed it might not look 
so bad in the morning.
