While returning home from our Clubs 25th Anniversary celebrations on the weekend, I was driving at about 35mph. Feeling great about the day (It was also Father's Day here) When suddenly without warning the cars rear end locked up, and we skidded about 40 metres, fortunately I was able to manage some semblance of control and keep it on our side of the road. With the assistance of some bystanders we were able to lift the rear with a trolley jack and move it to the side of the road. It is now back home ready for me to try and sort out what happened and why. Any suggestions on how to approach this would be most appreciated.

Cheers
Bick
