@davidwilkins@mastodon.online my crappy old Westfield SE (narrow body) with very oily 2l Ford Pinto engine.
The only car I’ve ever done a 360 degree spin in (it spat oil over it’s rear tires) and I was able to drive on to work.
More fun to work on than drive… well less scary 🤣

@BitchinRob@weird.autos @davidwilkins@mastodon.online I suspect that a full 360° is a lot more invigorating in the wee hours of cold winters morning while driving a Volvo 140 (in my defence the car at the time was new to me and I hadn't yet worked out that "Made in the CCCP" on the tyres translated to absolutely no grip in anything other than perfect driving conditions and even then don't be too confident about it 😱 )
