Default Roundabout world record

I live in the world of roundabouts and found an article that a man in America set a world record of just under 4hrs of constantly going around a roundabout.


Would 4hrs constabtly turning right ruin the 4 wheel drive system? I imagine it would be a constant speed of 10 / 20mph for the entire time.

You'd probably blow the engine due to oil starvation long before you'd notice any diff problems.

No offence Robsy, but you're not of this world !!!
Are you going to go and break that record, or what?

"Milk on beans" = Maynard Freidman or something daft like isn't it ?
If so Wiki has your location as listed with +130 Roundabouts so I would have thought all of you up there would have had plenty of practice to break that record.

The world record for drifting doughnuts (around an imaginary roundabout) was done by previous members on here and 22B IIRC, in a Subaru. They only stopped when they had had enough - no car failures.
