Default just saw something f&^ked up

So my wife is driving my S down the offramp from veterans parkway onto abercorn.
We are about half way round and I see this kid in a little red car going past us pretty fast into the on ramp.

I am trying to check this car out whilst making sure jill doesn't mishift mine into second!

As we come all the way round I hear tire squeal and look back to see hes veering to the left. I can't remember exactly but he managed to stuff it into the left barrier, it spun back around a bit and ended up in the wall on the right side! There were a bunch of loud bangs and it was quite scary to see an accident but he got out ok, he looked realy pissed off.

I went back that way and the speed he was going into that ramp did seem a bit brave even though its 3 lanes wide. A bend like that I would give it a go fast on a track where theres plenty of run-off but its not something I'd have a go at when theres concrete walls on either side!

My guess would be he was used to FWD, went in to hard, felt it let go a bit, panicked and lifted. Who knows though it couldha been oil or just not paying attention.. I'm pretty sure it was a red Mk1 Mr2, definitely had an exhaust, mighta had black wheels.

Even though he was probly being a cock I feel sorry for him and hope hes ok. Its not like I haven't made mistakes with RWD before! I was just lucky not to put one into a barrier yet
