Aberdeen is an absolute joke at the moment, was taking the parents into town yesterday and going up Don St. in the pishing rain, hit a pothole and there was an absolutely massive bang, car jolted and gave a hell of a fright. Car seemed alright (And nothing fell off the dashboard, suprising for an MG!) but it's taking the piss, and that road is well known for being a state.
And while i'm ranting, idiot drivers going about the place, had several people pull out infront of me last night and a suprising amount of people going about with either 1 headlight, or none!
Aberdeen, it's lovely eh?

I can't remember exactly where it was (think it was Auchmill Road)...but I saw a pothole earlier this week and it had an orange cable sticking out from it. Traffic light cable I'm guessing?And while i'm ranting, idiot drivers going about the place, had several people pull out infront of me last night and a suprising amount of people going about with either 1 headlight, or none!

'Tis extremely pish!
Glasgow's not much better in places... coming (from the South) through the Clyde Tunnel, and then turning off to get onto the Expressway is a nightmare at the moment - I think I counted about a dozen potholes within a km or so, and some of them look deep enough to cause damage if you're car's low...

What part of Don Street?
It didn't look so bad when the 'Street View' car drove up it ...

It was indeed Auchmill road. 'Tis extremely pish!
Anybody dared driving along Riverview Drive in Dyce? The whole road is actually just one big pothole.
Was looking at the potholes on riverview drive, doesn't look too bad on google maps but of course it was shot a while back...
But look what I found:

Funny, I actually did tonight - in the Exige! 
It was shocking.

Tell me about it, its like doing the slalom in the Lambo. Shawlands is a joke too.I drove the Tarland-Westhill road this afternoon; not only does it have 10ft+ walls of snow on both sides of the road for 2/3 of the entire distance (and in most places only 1 lane open), most of that road is rutted, espcially the last few miles into Tarland. I've lived out there for 26 years and I've never seen that road as bad as it is right now
