...of course, I'm talking about Milton Keynes!!

Oh Wow! What fun there is to be had, NSL dual carridgeway - roundabout - NSL dual carridgeway - roundabout - NSL dual carridgeway - roundabout - NSL dual carridgeway - roundabout - NSL dual carridgeway - roundabout!
What I would have given to be in a TVR last week! DOH!

Had a few chancers who tried to get me off the lights! Ha, No chance Nova Boy!!!
Is it me or is the XScape Centre car park always full of tossers with modded astra and pugs?!?! Most of then can't drive and think there 1.1 nova with is bean can exhaust and bonnet air scoop (WHY?!?!) is quick!!

Heard someone get it seriously wrong at the roundabout at V4 and H7 (Chaffron Way and Wattling Way I think) the skid, thud and very satifying cruch of a car landing again! The noise of braking metal was really bad!!! I wouldn't like to repair that one!!!

What Joy! Can't wait to go back!

Wouldn't like to live there though! Too many nutters from elsewhere using it for fun!

from what I heard the nutters are all locals - big 'boy racer' problem in that town - maybe partly due to the er, encouraging, road layout?
and the fact that it doesn't have alot to keep young minds occupied of an evening.
Only Corby is worse, imo.

As a resident of spiritual neighbour Basingstoke (Known as Donut City) I have to agree that NSL,Roundabout,NSL Roundabout does have a certain appeal

Unfortunately our lot have stuck enormous Chevron signs up blocking a driver's view onto the roundabout. This has been done to slow down the young hoons who otherwise get it seriously wrong and enjoy a quick trip straight over the top the grassy central areas....

I think its backfiring on them as the responsible drivers slow down, get a good look and the enter the roundabout safely but frustrated they couldn't do it smoothly....and the young hoons now just go on without bothering to look at all....
