I've driven it and been driven down it many times before.

But i've never managed to drive it in clear weather with dry roads.

Came round what was a fairly sharp right hander leading into a very sharp left hander.

My inexperience of the road and car really showed up here.

I managed to get the car seriously understeering sideways into the left hander towards a dry stone wall.

I slammed on the anchors and brought the car to a halt 30cm from the wall!! Needless to say I had cacked myself by that point.

Its the first time i've really reached the limit of the cars handling, and It was certainly not a good time or place to do it.

I can't believe how close that was.

Buxton road needs respect, so does the mr2's handling.
