Title: RX7 Vs Diesel on roundabout!!
Post by: aeseaton on January 09, 2007, 03:10:41 PM
Oh Dear!
There I was driving home on a sat evening along the a43, when all of a sudden i hit a patch of diesel exiting a roundabout. Car departed sideways and piled thru a nice pile of rubble left by some lovely highways men. Finally came to a halt 100metres down the road looking at where id just come from. Luckily I was ok but front of car has seen better days.

Got a post on Wanted list for items im in need of.

Hope to get car fixed soon as summer isnt gonna be too far away now.

Safe driving!

I did the same thing on the same road!! Driving to Trax last Sept with fd:uk, came off the roundabout about 10/15mph and went into a spin and landed in a ditch!! Hmm, maybe they should do something about the roundabouts on there.
