Glad to hear everything worked out alright, but hey, if you're late you're late, just take it a little easier so that next tiime the story doesn't have a different ending.

Took a sharp turn a bit too fast ( was in a hurry). I was braking into the corner and when I went back onto the throttle it just oversteered like crazy.
I overcorrected so I was fishtailing a bit.
Thank god I didn't hit anyone or anything.

Yeah... we know Richard was busy checking out some hot college girls when he almost looped it. 
Nice save... could have been bad news!
Did you at least get her phone number?

I was very thankfull that it was a 2 lane road, I needed both of them. The nice thing was that no one dared overtake me after that happened, LOL.
Allready had it but you didn't hear that from me

I think the correct thing to do (based on what I've learned from Skip Barber Racing School) is to steer in the direction that the rear wheel is sliding. Then, as you're beginning to get aligned back (and get back traction at the rear), you have to quickly steer the other way (to align the front wheel with the direction of the road) so that you don't get that NASTY snap at the end once your rear tires get traction again. From what I've learned, you should not be using the brakes or the gas when you perform this evasive maneuver.
