That road looks like the roads on Corsica except it is twice the width and I can't see any cows on the road!  ;D

Discovered that on the poxy Toyota Corolla we had in South Africa. The accelerator pedal was so weakly sprung that I inadvertently rested my foot on it while getting into the car. Turned the key and weeeeiingg ning ning ning ning ning ning. :-[
