Hot off the presses...

Gutter 1 - XA Coupe 0

That's right... our illustrious moderator and friend to all Mutants, Mr XA Coupe, has come off second best with a humble gutter, who he inconsiderately picked a fight with!

Funnily enough, the event was an Advanced Driving Course - and obviously, he committed himself to demonstrating, thoroughly, the definition of "Not-So-Advanced Driving"

Nnnoooooo!! Hope there's not to much damage (apart from your pride :s6: )

(Note to Self... remember the sidewalk offers no protection in Vic.)

I know you didn't like the cheesecutters much but that's a hard way to get rid of them!!

Cheers

fear Not Minions, the only damage was to a wheel and tyre and it was on the EF.
Pictures I am sure will be forthcoming. As perpertrator of this evil deed I was unable to chronicle it for Education Purposes(tm) but I believe someone has.
I will take a pic of the wheel shorthly

By the way, AN EXCELLENT DAY!

Now that's a mere scratch!!!

Lucky you weren't in the coupe.

funnily enough if I was in the coupe it wouldn't have happened.
I wanted to make a very sharp turn, so put on full lock and the power. Got understeer then it decided it did want to break traction by which time I was a wee bit close to the gutter ..................

yes, you remember that... tram tracks are no good either. It really points out how correct those bumper stickers are " If you don't like My Driving, Get off the Foot Path" !!
