Red face Crikey! Close call or what!!!!!

So i drove to Birmingham today to get my car tuned up. Missed my turning on a roundabout, so headed down an A road to the next roundabout to turn around. 1/2 up this road to the next roundabout a 300ZX fairlady zooms up behind tailgating me. I go round the roundabout, in me little GT6, and he doesnt keep pace, but goes to over take on a sweeping left on this A road. As hes coming up behind i see a wiggle, then he slides infront of me, his rear passenger corner 2ft from my bumper, i lock the brakes, so does he and plays pinball on the barriers. Scary ****! I stopped and he was alright, but jesus a few feet closer i wouldnt have any car left.

My mate just 'pinballed' his Corvette of a kerb wrecking the rear wheel and bending the suspension, easily done this time of year, cold tyres on a wet greasy road with big power RWD cars, his went in a straight line, he booted it and being an auto it changed gear and dumped all the power straight out, the diff locked (being lsd) and there was a big load of torque with nowhere to go, both tyres spin so the car cant keep up, result about a grands worth of damage.

Had a Renault A610 Turbo go tearing past me (when they were new) and me only being in a Manta GTE got roasted (wasnt trying anyway, whats the point), next thing is I catch up and the front end is pointing skyward with the rest of he car in a field looking very second hand, I stopped and the guy was on his brick sized mobile (late 80's) and told me to f*ck off when I asked him if he needed any help, I pointed out that he should be nicer to people offfering help, oh and that he was a **** with a flash car who couldnt drive to save his life, what really upset him was offered to swap his car for the Manta.

Thumbs down

Came back from watching Scunny win at Wembley a few years ago. Coming up the A1 in one of the worst rainstorms I've ever seen, traffic all doing 40 or less due to spray like fog, and a nutter in a 911 comes past us doing about 100

Commented to my passengers that he "must be going to a funeral........his own"

Reached the new section around Peterborough, traffic snarling up a bit due to outer two lanes closed, and there's matey upside down in the closed outer lane, surrounded by police, fire services, ambulances etc.
