i'd get the plate swapped over to another car pronto as the DVLA can be funny about plates

as for the crash... we'd all be lying if we said we'd never lost it in a RWD car (capt B19bal who cant even get his to wheelspin let alone sideways )... thing is most people get lucky and dont hit anything

Everyone is blaming the power - from the little i read it sounds more like - unknown road, v slippy and poor breaking in a RWD so he would be just as bad in a GLS

Glad your ok, shame about the car - all the bad stick poor saffs are getting - I still love mine more than any car i have ever been in
