To top it all of put a LSD in there whilst it's open

 

[big eck]

It was a thought but I don't do enough track days to warrant the extra £1k lol.

Damn. At least you are ok and they weren't cutting you out with a can opener.

Ive always been concerned by foreign lorries and the crazy mofos driving them.
They seem to have about as much regulation and respect to road rules as flaming cyclists, except they are driving HGVs that a lot of the time dont even seem roadworthy. The state of some you see on the roads is scandalous when you look at how car and respectable haulage companies are scrutinised.

I was coming round a roundabout one night to be greeted head on by a foreign lorry which had decided to take a right turn. He was busy trying to reverse it back around the exit. Was a bit hairy but could have been worse.
I mean the curbs on that exit even guide you left pretty sharply, so he had probably been pulling 36hr shift or something.

The front of his lorry was absolutely battered and was missing a front bumper!! Just really pisses me off that we have to pay these ridiculous insurance premiums for these ***** to come over and have no consequences for their actions! I took all his company details as they're based in Sweden!
