Just trawled around the M25 this morning and saw something so stunningly dangerous that I couldnt believe!

A BMW 318i (I believe that this was a E36 model - not the current but the previous one). The rear shocks were so shot that the rear wheels werent even touching the road! A big problem, if it wasnt for the fact that it is a rear wheel driven car!!!! So stunningly stupid that this is utterly amazing...

The really daft thing is that the car would have been like this for some time. So someone has been driving around with an utterly shot car - and putting all other road users at risk.

That got me thinking - what about everyone else - whats the most dangerous car that you have seen?

Cheers,

Paul

Finnish taxi drivers are nightmare too - especially in the snow & ice.... wheelspins, sliding round the corners, handbrake turns, 160kmh down the motorway....

Then again they are kind of used to this - alarming for non-Fins though.

Oh,yeah - Fins are very good drivers. But just scare the living daylights out of us Brits who see snow once every four years! They get hit strong and long (oooerrr) each winter and therefore are better drivers as a result.

Simple things like specific times that they have to fit snow chains and snow tyres help. Plus, if it covered in snow for 3-4 months in the year, you cant just sit at home and blame the weather - life kind of stops if you do that....

Bloody nice place by the way - recommend it for anyone wanting a European weekend break - only a weekend though, there is not much there as it is only a small country (population-wise) and are famed for mobile phones!

Cheers,

Paul
