It is quite tight that roundabout, and heading north to south there is a bit of reverse camber on the exit followed by some manhole covers IIRC.
That's the exact exit that he crashed on. I've hammered it in the S2000 in the dry but she won't budge so given it was bone dry last night it looks like he did well

The camber is certainly tricky though - I've felt the Impreza struggling to shift the torque there a few times as well and in both my scoobs I've had all 4 wheels going wild in the wet as it's also a reasonable incline. Rock n' roll

exactly.

I like cars as much as the next person, but they are hunks of metal with rubber wheels.

I don't give them names, I don't even refer to them as genders. (in fact I don't even wash them that often)

I bet I enjoy hooning about in them far more than someone who's car is called christina and who spends 4 hours per weekend washing and waxing "her".

As long as it is mechanically sound and well serviced then I am happy.

Yes, but I bet your car doesn't go round murdering your enemies for you.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Christina's approach made for a better film, though.
