Re: Randomness
Didn’t a Porsche 911 do something similar in the same place a few years ago?

Re: Randomness
I'd forgotten that that was no body was hurt in either incident. I wonder if the Merc would have got away with it if the van hadn't been there; I can't remember how far away the shop etc is but it might have spun and stopped.

I live about 5 minutes from there and that bit of road is properly dangerous in the wet, water just streams across the road. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

I don’t know what this object is (other than scarey).
Driver plays it cool.
Probably wouldn’t do much good, but I wouldn’t want to race a car with an open-face helmet.

Quite a long read, but very funny.

I should probably start a specific thread, but my mate that does the “digital doodles” on his tablet has tried doing an image of an animal for the first time. And I am (again) blown away.
