More great inaccurate reporting. When I went past, there were 3cars and a van in a nose to tail. One vehicle was towing a trailer, which lost some wood. The truck avoided hitting anyone, and veered off into the water table, staying upright, and was able to be driven away. Top work driver.

You could hear the disappointment in the crowd when one made it past that corner.
More rally carnage:

Half points to Stuart then :D ^^Quote:

It does that for the Lake Lyndon road. Won't give me a route through thereQuote:

That horrid feeling though when you see a chopper scanning the Routeburn track at low level while knowing that the issue is either in your plane or the one in front.
