first accident :(

went to Great Ocean Road with the ozmazdaclub ppl... and i had accident on the way back.... lucky my gf was fine and the car has no structural damage...

around 10pm, we were driving slowly... on one of the 'S' turn near the entry gate.... not so tight but downhill abit... i was on 2nd gear, not accelerating, not braking, just rolling, not understeering, doing around 30kmh... all of sudden my rear start sliding out when i turn.... and about 2 secs later i spun 180degree... hitting a pole across the street on the other direction...

possible cause:
1. my front tyre still using bridgestone RE070 which is grippy on wet... but i the rear is only normal radial no brand... brand new... but not as grippy as the front....

2. my rear seat, space tyre, and the whole rear interior wasnt on... so it might be lighter at the 'tail' so it flips out easy...

3. wheather, was pouring, and very dark....

but above all that possibility... i think the main mistake is on the driver... me! Laughing if i had more experiences, i probably can handle the spun easily.... stoopid me Razz

i just dont get why the rear just flips out... there was no bumps and i didnt even realise i was sliding till i spun nearly more than 90degree and keep sliding till i hit the pole... its all happend only in 2-3 secs... still cant sleep till now...

if it was becoz me speeding and crash, then at least i know i'm pushing too hard... but this really stress me out coz i didnt know what i did wrong... lol.. thats embarassing...

oh well... Razz next time better... thx God my gf was ok... and its better then falling off the cliff (hmmm MPS3 would be nice)... thx for everyone that night... sorry for delay...
here are the pics...

if you noticed from the tyre position, it seems that i try to fight the tail oversteering and fail Razz dumbass... now i need new door, side skirt and side moulding... Smile
