Well i thought i was a goner today, started off when a mate and i pulled out of Carbeth inn just past milngavie on the way to Balmaha, we came up behind a White corsa that was Driving a bit Eratically, so my mate signalled me to give him plenty Space as the guy was driving like an Idiot. So in the space of 3 miles he had overtaken 4 cars on blind Corners, i was in Shock at his Manouvers, a mile or so on there was a nice big straight which i overtook him on then up came a sharp right hander which i took carefully.

Then it all happened, the guy in the Corsa didnt brake for the corner, i watched him in my mirror as he aproached the bend, he almost ran up the back of me then lost control of the back End, ideSwiped a Porsche Ceyanne that was oncoming, Spun over onto the oncoming Traffic and got T-Boned by a Citroen ZX, All the while my mate was behind 15 - 20 feet or so, he went through the carnage like it was something out the matrix, being narrowly missed by the Porcshe 4 x 4. Never heard such a loud bang and spraying of Shrapnel in my life. To sum it up, no one was hurt & it was just as well as it took 20 mins for the Helicoptor to come as there was no ambulances Available.
