Default Crashed SK2 this evening

An 01 Berlina black into central reservation near Oxford this evening. No injuries but hope it's not someone from the forum.

Its the same old situation. I wouuldn't get too emotional about it. Virtually all crashes on here are in the wet or cold, exiting a roundabout.

People put the toe down, adverse camber. Bosh.

Nail these cars in the dry and on the straights. You'll be very unlucky if you crash then.

Roundabouts and wet are a no no.

The bonus is at least we were both okay, to those reading this thinking it wont happen to me....be careful out there in the wet, take it easy.


I was lucky the both times it happened to me that I didn't hit anything.

Glad your ok.

Recalling posts about other similiar 'incidents' it's probably a write off.

How much of a bitch is that. Not only crashing but getting spotted by another board member.

Slightly off topic but....
Lloydj - Where are you emmigrating too ?
