ScoobieFloz Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Thought i would share my near dearh experience with you all!!! Going along the A614 oxton bypass towards Ollerton, just hit 110 then BANG!!!! The car starts to spin, thought I corrected it but now I am rolling at what feels like 60-70 mph backwards looking at a silver fiesta who is travelling in the same direction. After considering doing a knight rider spin ( decided better of it) managed to safely come to a stop however still facin the oncoming traffic. Turns out the whole inner plastic arch of the drivers side front wheelarch decided to part company with the scoobie, front bumper looks like a few clips need replacing too. OK not quite near death but defo a brown stain moment!!! Edited October 2, 2011 by ScoobieFloz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyspud Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Sounds like you were quite lucky I think you'll find the a614 isn't a private road, so I think you need to change the estimated speed you claim to be doing at time of brown stained trousers time.

ScoobieFloz Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Been back to the scene of the crime with my old man. I could tell he wasn't pleased, then he gave me wack on the back of the head and said, "you idiot! This is the oxon bypass, not the A614!"
