Default S2000 Crash

Silverstone S2000 at about 1:30pm just joining A41 towards Hemel from M25 jct 20.

Looks like back end span under acceleration on the bend, car then went into lamp post making quite a mess ???

Anyone on here ?? Or know about it ??

Driver looked ok, if not a bit miffed !

if it's someone here, it'll be diesel, someone closing the gap or the car 'let go without warning'.

count on it.

If it was a slip road, it will be your third option, Gad!

do other S tyres offer more audio feedback? (ie squeal like a girl)

I went round a corner quite hard the other day, smooth as you like, feathering the throttle, next thing I hear this monumental screeching as an A3 (YES! a TDI how did you guess?) came hurtling round the same corner trying to 'race' me.. needless to say I showed him the error of his ways on the straight and he in turn demonstrated how small his penis was by cutting up the lass in front of me in traffic and nearly hitting her so he could get in front by lane jumping.. nice one squire..



suffice to say i gave chase, flagged him down and murdered him in cold blood by the side of the road.. that got a hearty cheer from the passing motorists. danm, i dreamt that last bit.
