Re: New Toy
Nice wheels dude, just be careful on roundabouts. I've exited quite a few in reverse over the years driving BMs.

Re: New Toy
Cheers lads.
Our other car is a BMW Monty so I'm already familiar with reversing the car out of a roundabout technique and the kids love it. In fact they egg me on to do it

Re: New Toy
I imagine with modern traction control it's a lot less of an issue, but I've managed it three times. First one was my boss's M3, he even warned me when he handed me the keys. Second time was in my 535E on a roundabout and the third was the same car but ended up going backwards into the armco outside the Royal Oak in Hurdlow.

Re: New Toy
I borrowed my mate's Lotus Carlton for a Valentine's date (not with my mate).
I managed to spin that out on a large roundabout near Brum city centre. Thankfully I did a 360 and missed everyone so I carried on as if nothing had happened.
Fantastic car.

They were awesome. I knew someone with one too. None of that traction control rubbish, just loads of uncontrollable turboKwacky wrote:I borrowed my mate's Lotus Carlton for a Valentine's date (not with my mate).

Re: New Toy
Yeah I saw that one, but he wants £5800 with the carbon bits. I'm thinking more like £4000 and even Master Blade couldn't get £1800 offKwacky wrote:Nice green zx6r for sale on the Facebook zx6r group.
