Is that the one in Swindon - which is no longer there?

Still, there is still a working example in the delectable Hemel Hempstead.

scooby nutter 23 November 2002 01:01 PM

jeesus!!!!

confusing or what!!!!!

i thought the one near me was bad with 9 sets of traffic lights on it!!

super_si 23 November 2002 01:39 PM

Not sure where it is! looks madness

Yup, that looks like Swindon, i'll never forget getting to the middle, cars flying everywhere, thinking "okay Batman, what next!":rolleyes:

Swift Nick 23 November 2002 02:01 PM

Yeah, that's the magic roundabout in Swindon.

That's the county ground in the backround.

TopBanana 23 November 2002 02:53 PM

Go through it twice a day. Looks confusing, but works quite well

super_si 23 November 2002 03:01 PM

rather you then me :eek:

what happens if you stuck on the main middle one!

TopBanana 23 November 2002 05:19 PM

No idea, just seems to work alright. You can't honestly expect me to remember when I'm either:
a) knackered in the morning; or
b) knackered after work

:D

super_si 23 November 2002 05:22 PM

does every one just ride over the little ones.

looks hellish that

AnDy_PaNdY 23 November 2002 05:33 PM

BLOODY HELL :eek: I thought it was a joke :eek:

fatherpierre 23 November 2002 05:39 PM

That's fooking mental!

Imagine having to negotiate that on your driving test when it's quite busy!

TopBanana 23 November 2002 05:47 PM

Well if you break it down into each roundabout at a time, you're alright. Just check you're clear from the right and stop and the next give way mark... easy peasy

fatherpierre 23 November 2002 05:49 PM

But we all know that the highway code goes to rat **** on roundabouts when it's busy!

Freak 23 November 2002 06:10 PM

What makes it ultra confusing for some people is the big one in the middle goes the wrong way round (anti clockwise....)

I steer well clear of it whenever im near it...:p

fatherpierre 23 November 2002 06:11 PM


I steer well clear of it whenever im near it...
How do you manage that, then?

bugger that drop it a cog and go for it :D

Gaz Jones 23 November 2002 06:50 PM

YES THAT IS THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT IN SWINDON.

My mate nearly wrote his car off on there twice when we were at GTI international this year, the general concensus was to stop, look left, then right and boot it!!!


scoobyangel 23 November 2002 07:07 PM

i always get confused on "CORNERS ;)

super_si 23 November 2002 07:07 PM
