Very embarrassing when it happens half way through overtaking a Corsa on a single carriageway. :oops:


Mines happened for the first time, racing a Cooper Works onto the Mway. Very embarrasing as I was leaving it for dead until then!

When you find the car half way down the road in the morning in the middle of the road and then remembering that little jaunt last night ended in some very heavy braking just before parking up outside your house on a hill.
Most embarrassing but funny

Hey Guys well broken my cherry on this MR2 now aswell. Had my first facing the wrong way on the road moment thankfully I missed other road users and didn't hit anything. I wasn't travelling at much speed and the roads are a little damp but nothing heavy. Well its great to be an MR2 owner again I was complaing that my in my morning commute in my last car was boring.
