Default HAD CLOSE SHAVE WITH A LAMPOST LAST NIGHT PHEW (pics)

had just left for work, and no1 was about

i was going left at a mini roundabout and it understeered like fuck kept turning and it started to slide i caught the slide and then was heading straight for the fooker

straight on the anchors and i stopped about 1m from it



even if i had hit it, doubt it would have done much damage bonnet bumper etc, the old sphincter was goin

man lamposts should have tyre barriers round em, would save many lives

any one got pics of when they lumped posts previously???


thanks

carl

That was lucky. What caused such bad understeer other than it being a Vauxhall?

Just looks like a photo of very bad parking to me.

But at least no-one was hurt in the making of this thread.
