Those local will know this road well....

Cost me (or hopefully my insurers) a Caterham engine after a "spirited" drive back to Barry. Little too much over a crest and smashed the sump in on impact....ouch.

Good opportunity for an upgrade though?!

good point on the oil....

will be quite a spill over the top where I landed! prob sprayed everywhere mind rather than pool of? Insurers have been quite sympathetic (so far) fingers crossed.

That's the problem with the road, not that it's a bad road or even particulary dangerous. Just knowhere to overtake at all and people do silly things when stuck behind slow traffic.

Quite right, but if they are going to pull out you haven't got much chance whatever your in or whatever speeds really. Have a slight advantage in a 7 cos even if they can't see you they'll certainly hear you.....
