ok, i was talking to JammieMirror today, and one story came through my mind...

so, here it is:

2 years ago, in summer, i got my first mazda 323 GTX (made in 1987) it was 4wd, turboed...really nice car... Thumbs up!

but it had a leaking rear diff, so, i had to fill it with oil every 2 weeks...(was really bad), and at the same time i was looking for the replacement... Hurray!

once, me and one of my best friends had to go to the other city some 100km away, and had no other way but to go with my mazda...
we got there, made what we had to, slept the night at my friends house and the other day went back home...

it was raining really hard that day...all was wet as Dumb question

... i was driving about 130km/h in the second lane overtaking the other slower car, and, suddenlym i heared the noise, as you would put the metal thing between the teeth of the diff...soo big...
the first thought that came through my mind was "oh sh!t, the diff"...i shouthed that, turned the caution corner lights on, started to brake.......
...i broke to something like 100km/h, and, suddenly...the rear end locks...the wheels are tuck...my tail starts to slide everywhere, i start countersteer...go sideways...make 360 degree turn and stay between two lanes pointing to the forest...

oops...

someone's coming our direction...ummm...what to do...clutch, floor, let the cluch go...adn finally i'm in the side of the highway...

after that, we were sitting and laughing for about 45mins without a stop...(adrenaline rush)...
then i called my friend to come over, to take me back home, and then, i took some tools, some light (ir was about 10pm then), and headed to the place, cause i needed to remove the diff, CV's, prop shaft etc if i wanted to go home, cause after all it was impossible to rotate the rear wheels...
i finished work and my father took me home...when i came, it was 3am the other day...;D

so, that's the way it happened to me...

anyone had something like that?

post it here!

cheers, adam

P.S.

i think i have that diff somewhere laying around, so i think i could make some shots of it...;D
