Thing is, if you increase your RWD driving skills youl just try and go round it faster and faster and more sideways every time anyhow, so you will still crash at some point! 
For 5 gold stars you need at be at full oppo lock at high rpm in 4th gear (so well over 100mph) and crash clean thru the Armco into the trees, like so...

Ouch!!!
Spindliest looking armco i have ever seen. Bloody lucky it was so weak, as that would have hurt.
I wonder if he had to reset his roll bar afterwards???
Nice photo btw

One other thing, and this is a serious note for SiB
Oi! I was behind you, and you have a serious problem with your driving style that we need to eliminate RIGHT NOW!
If you intend to drive a BMW, then you need to understand that indicators are permitted to be used for one of the two below reasons;
1 To let people know that you have illegally parked,
2 To celebrate Christmas
NOTHING ELSE!!!!!
You were seen on several occasions using them to indicate lane changes, intended direction of travel etc etc. I mean, what the fuck?
We have a reputation to keep up, and you are spoiling it for all of us.
If I see you using your indicators for anything other than the BMW prescribed approved reasons, I will remove your keys.

Nothing structural or mechanical damaged luckily enough, just outside stuff and the inner wing.

Never have any problems anywhere else, and in both recent incidents (holed piston and slippy slide M3) JJ was right behind me!!! I blame him!!
Not done the lottery yet, but got to be worth a go!
Thanks to JJ and Chip / Stu etc for their help after - checking the car and the scene, taking photos and taking the piss, all much appreciated!
