Not sure on the top gear reference, but I'm not afraid to say I used 'lift off oversteer' in a wrong way. Heck the only time I'm 100% sure I've experienced it was in a video game. But I do know that for me, using the throttle when I don't have traction has been safer for me than letting off and using the brake. I've normally spun out when slamming the brake in my noob days coming out of a drift / power slide, but have since then been able to better control it with throttle.
I was in a friend's car that had wheels bent in roughly 15 degrees in a crash, and that's what totaled it (shattered axles and whatnot..) my money is on it being totaled. Claim it under insurance then switch providers. You'll still get an increase in payments, but it'll usually be less that way
