Title: Silver FD in Milton Keynes, oh, you\'ll remember being there!
Post by: NurburgRob on December 18, 2008, 07:39:45 PM
Spotted a J reg Silver FD driving south from Milton Keynes city centre on Tuesday night just after 8.

I was in a BMW 100 yards or so behind you.  You\'ll remember giving it a bit of beans to catch up with the white Subaru ahead of you.  I only realised you\'d gone around the roundabout and back on yourself when I saw your car sideways at speed about 20 yards down the road.

I knew it didn\'t look good so I assume you didn\'t catch it, that and the flat bushes and gouged trees I saw on the way home!

I hope you\'re ok dude, was it the second turbo kicking in in 2nd off the roundabout by any chance?

Drive safe guys, these roads are deadly at this time of year.

It was totally standard by the look of it apart from aftermarket wheels.

The reg was J###SDH, possibly a new owner not familiar with the handling.

It wasn\'t a nice sight, couldn\'t see the car afterwards so maybe he limped home.  Not sure he\'ll post on here if he knows as he might be feeling a little bit silly right now.

Rob - I know this is on an L but I don\'t suppose this could of been the one you saw could it?!

Reason I ask is that a mate of mate took a picky a while back as it lived in Stony...... this is it and then I\'ve possibly just spotted it on ebay - looking a little sorry for itself!! :p
