Had a 'moment' in my TVR Griffith a couple of years ago. Was early one damp March morning, doing 35 down a dual carriageway in lane one, moved to overtake a Golf, on the power a smidge too early...

Rear snapped round, span it into the scenery. Wrapped it round a couple of trees, cat C. Very lucky it was front & rear impacts, as if it had been sideways in I'd not have lived to tell the tale. As it was I was completely unharmed.

The worst bit? I'd agreed to sell the car the day before, and it was due to be my last drive in it!
