Default Mini Roundabouts

Does anyone else enjoy actually going round these, aside from the fact its how it should be done.

There are a number around my area which, at the lowest speeds, is more fun going round them than it is bumping over them.

Find someone willing and have sex with them immediately. You'll thank me for this later and stop asking such damn silly questions....








Back on subject.... the problem with the things is that it's just to easy NOT to drive around them properly when you're going straight on and I'm always terrified that the guy coming the other way really hasn't SEEN it when I'm trying to turn right and will slam into the side of me!

Mini-roundatbouts are crap if your driving an impreza...understeer

Unless....

Right turn = Scandinavian flick.



Its also where I found out that Monaro VXRs don't understeer, no matter how hard you chuck them round.

mini roundabouts are great when you have someone close behind you lol.

go into them the same speed as you would going straight, then give it a flick round at the last minute. The car behind usually slams on the brakes, thinking it might be too high to drive straight over. lol.

a scooby going round corners without leaning also looks great!!!

I was set until I read willing I'll just have to see the missus instead now

Most of the ones around my bit are offset so going around as opposed to over them is more fun

****Note to self*****
Asking questions on here after being out on the lash and talking about them doesn't seem the same, damn you Scoobynetters

If you go to that place in Gloucester and get the bumpsteer adusted out and fit solid rear roll bar links, all the understeer goes away! Its like a different car.
