More Apologies by madchef on Sun Aug 17, 2008 10:31 am
Stuck this in here as the chap involved might be a member or might look in here one day.

As some may know I have been driving a lot this week and I must apologise to the fellow Frontera owner I scared half to death this week.

Driving along the A75 Castle Douglas bypass at 65 mph when from a side junction comes a turqoise Travant.What does he do...

Pulls out right in front of me.Two choices hit him and write of both of us or swerve to avoid him???

Okay I swerved into the middle of the road( right hand turning lane luckily) but he continued to come my way so had to move into the line of traffic coming the other way,straight at at Burgandy LWB fronty complete with caravan.
Foot straight onto the gas and turbo took me back across the road safely.

The look on the fellow Fronty's face was a picture.So my apologies to him.The power and speed got us through.

If you ever travel around up here look out for a blind deaf man in a turqouise Travant and avoid him like mad.

No internet at home ( again :cry: :cry: ) so sorry for late replies.

Amazing how many folks fail to see you coming even at low speed with an engine thats louder than most cruisers hot rod exhausts!! :twisted: :evil:

Maybe the next stealth vehicle for the MOD
