I then drifted all the way back to the right side of the road and sat there for 3 hours before the roads got better. It was a horrible experience. No damage or problems with the Z though afterwards.

a few grey hairs suddenly appeared I'm sure.

You did the best thing you could--you didn't keep driving on when it became unsafe. Unlike the many others in the video, most of whom probably had all season instead of summer tires. Glad you got home unscathed!

Car Hits Oil Slick At 150MPH - YouTube

mad skilled! :)

He did a good job saving that slide, but i doubt he was doing 150mph, I think that 150kph (which is about 95mph) would be a more accurate guess. Again great save from the slide.
