keeh Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 probably more to do with your driving than the rain am sure its not too bad, could be a lot worse though

monkeymoreton Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 i'll try get some pictures of the railings now i gotta save up to fix her
capri71 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 20mph round a bend? In the wet, In a capri? what do you expect?! On the bright side, at least the mk2 grill wasn't busted ...and you weren't hurt
Fiesta Steve Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Did it understeer ?? What tyres have you got on the front ??
monkeymoreton Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 it's rear wheel drive so it over oversteered nearly went all the way round i was glad the grill wasn't damaged as well i was one of atleast 3 ppl that had a accident around that round about yesterday
bortaf Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 strange that been driving RWD cars for 24 years and never crashed on a roundabout still never mind just don't drive in the rain again, ever
mart @ fpe Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 strange that been driving RWD cars for 24 years and never crashed on a roundabout still never mind just don't drive in the rain again, ever you must be the best driver in the world then
over_head_cam Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 I've never crashed on a roundabout either. I spun all the way round and ended up facing the wrong way a couple of times though
jamesmk1 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 I've never crashed on a roundabout either. I spun all the way round and ended up facing the wrong way a couple of times though i think will have all done that.

Yeah, but hands up when you went right round by accident...but made it look like you meant to do it and driven right back from where you just came from!
over_head_cam Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 It would have been hard to do that, I was facing the wrong way with traffic approaching
monkeymoreton Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 here's the railing i did a good job of destroying it i think and i think i came off pretty well
over_head_cam Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Looking at the pic m8 I think there might be something wrong with your motor. How the fook did you hit that there ??
OldskoolSue Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 I think your speedo may be wrong looks like you where going alot faster than 20mph ive been round loads of rounderbouts in my capri in the wet and faster than 20 and have never done anything like that I hope you get it sorted though
monkeymoreton Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 i was only going slow but i can't remember what actually happen that sucks just shows capri's are hard old cars that can take a beating
vibrating_Cake Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 we all do it wet corner, grate in the middle of the corner, rear wheel hit it~20mph also, back end gained momentum and swung me around hitting the kurb backwards and sideways byebye dogslegs alloys and wheel bearing
