Glad to hear you are unscathed. We had a similar incident in a heavy rain in Oregon 2 years ago. My first indication was the engine revving up similar to a slipping clutch. This had to be the rear tire aqua-planing on standing water. The rear end snapped left, I corrected and it went right and we were gone. As I think back on it, there were so many opportunities to die. We barely missed a large wheeled road sign, slid down a grassy slope of wet grass and wound up about 200 feet off the road. We next to a fence and in a grove of pine trees. The car was unscathed, not a single scratch although I still find stalks of grass in odd places. My wife and I sat there dumbfounded for at least a minute trying to grasp what had just happened. We no longer drive in wet weather figuring that you only get one free pass with this sort of thing. As Calum said, once one of these little rigs gets away, you are just a passenger. Be careful out there!
Rolsmith, What brand of tires you had on and can you remember how much profile depth was left ? Any idea about your speed at the moment ?
