WOW! That was near the edge. If you're a rally driver you can steer, but alot of luck was involved here as well.

Both imo - he did the right thing both times by turning into the lean but was lucky it didn't tip.

Wow!!!

Lucky/skillful escape. That looked like a nasty sudden drop in the foreground there as well. He did very well to miss that and the random spectator

Yes, that's the Practical Performance Car Magazine Rover.

Charlie Broomfield has been through 2 marriages putting that together.

I like their 'Trackday Rolls Royce' too.

Bollox was that luck for the BMW driver.

That was just one of the many Surrey-school-run-trained mums on her way to drop Jemima & Tabitha at prep school. Happens all the time round our way

I'm with luck on that one - is the turning into it just a natural reaction of the car having all its weigt up like that, rather tha him steering?

Bloody lucky not to fall over that drop though And lol at the spectator!!!!
