Too bad the traction and stability control didn't prevent that.

Are you saying a front wheel took a hit too?

What was the temp at the time?

There was no other cars involved. I was in outside lane of A12. Overtaking a car.
Was doing 72mph. Rear end just stepped out,
Rear hit the central reservation.
I was going sideways at one point
Then ended up buried in mud in grass verge.

Am hoping my dash cam was on.
Just been on phone to FOrd accident management.
Aperantly they picking it up tomorrow.

On way back I looked was 7c

Bloody hell,
We have to be so careful with these cars! I just hope all these accidents stop any of us getting hurt.
Thanks for sharing with us and not hiding away!

Gutted for you [MENTION=15204]Ian whu[/MENTION]. The key is that you are fine. This does remind me of TVR ownership though, lots of single vehicle accidents. I have to say the Mustang feels great to me so far although I feel the traction control kick in regularly enough and turning out in first is like being on ice, even on a dry road... Maybe the tyres are playing a part too? I hit a couple of pretty nasty puddles this morning which were a bit scary...

Looks like you can get back on the road with this though.

Cheers for the support guys.
Is much appreciated.

This sucks man, main thing is that you weren't hurt.

 

[Jimboy2]

Can I ask. How does the rear end just step out at 72??

Glad your ok bet that was scary going that fast sideways!

Damn, sorry to see that chef, hopefully you'll get it back on the road looking good as new soon.

Did you mean to call him chief but instead make the best typo ever or did I miss the nicknaming thread? :lol:

Sorry to see this Ian, I hope it is a speedy repair.....

Jeez Ian that is not good. I am on the A12 all the time and I can't think how that could happen. I will be that bit more cautious though.

Things like this can shake you up quite a bit. I do hope that it's not put you off that lovely car. I hope you both make a full recovery.

All the best,

Greg
