partly the cause imho..

dccd on open and it was running 420 before and the 35lb extra torque was making it very very tail happy...

scared myself a couple of times on the road where as wit hthe 420 I was fine in the wet etc..

with crash helmet on I was less aware how much I was spinning the rears out of bends and coming out of druids got it very sideways.. may have caught it if I had more road, maybe not but was approaching the guy who had moved over to the right for me to pass quicker than I liked so bailed it.. hit brakes hard and slide backwards sideways into tyres..

**** happens.. but was considering swapping running gear to a 4 or 2door anyway.. just expected to keep the wagon for everyday with standardish engine.

shame, but like you say it happens, hope all goes well with the rebuild.
