Volvo 480 Club Europe

a couple of days ago i was going round a roundabout, when i pulled away i got some wheelspin even though i wasnt pushing it so i took it slow (probably about 20mph) and as i came towards my exit i felt the car go light and suddenly realised that my rear end was trying to ovetake my front! :shock: :s...
