Woah!!!
An unexpected 45 degrees sideways at freeway speeds is hard to recover! 
Banged third gear hard.......normally spins but stays fairly straight. Must have been something on the pavement.
Guess I need more sideways practice.

Thats' nothing!
A long time ago, it was on a new street with no develompment or traffic, I went to make a left turn in my 77' C3 at 60 mph to show someone how good the car handled. I spun the car 470° (360° plus the 90°) and headed perfect in the direction I was suppose to be going after turning.
I wasn't planning on the 360°, but it went so perfect, I didn't confess.
You should have seen the look on his face.
Of course, I had to go home and clean out my shorts because I thought for sure I was going to hit the curb.
