The Magic Roundabout is No4. worst junction in the world. Interestingly, London Circuit in Canberra is the Tenth worst; strange, I never noticed it was that bad. Canberra does deserve to be in the roundabout world records, though.

Ok in the spirit of things i figure you guys can have a laugh on me.

Last year i did up a lil turbo mitsubishi number with all the evo vr4 fun bits without ricing the hell out of it for a fun daily.
Just picked it up from the shop after a new clutch and brake upgrade, the wife and i were driving home in our seperate cars and this happened.

The green kia is the wifes car, the red ones mine.
Two cars in one go, damn im good.

Roger gave those cars a bad name. they are really good lil cars. unfortunately not very strong
but i will say it was a interestingly quiet drive home.

But all is good, bought my xr6 after this to make up for it.

I just thought as far as epic fails go that ones right up there.
