Something terrible (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the pits

(Other definitions for the pits that I've seen before include "A very bad situation (informal)" , "Racetrack area; worst conditions" , "pants" , "Those places offering a quick tyre change" , "place to service a car?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
