Hehe - it's an empty road, you can see for about 3 miles downhill. I hit a patch of gravel on a fast bend - front went through fine, back slid out from verge to verge and then caught, rolled over. I've lost count of the number of Mk2 Gtis I've had now - low-medium 20s! I'm in Bangor.
I used to shoot at Ballykinler when the old man was alive, proper rifles... he was as bad at collecting guns as I was cars. After he croaked, I only went to Bisley once, wasn't the same.
I remember the year before hanguns were banned on the mainland, my old man came home with a great story and a couple of pictures.
The entire N. Irish team were in a pub near Bisley but off camp when a couple of local fellas decided to rob the place. Of course being from NI, most of the team were police (PPW) or under threat (same), so had their pistols with them.
Idiot with the sawn-off shouted to the bar man "Open the ####ing till!"
Bar man says, as cool as you can be - "turn around" - sound of a Glock being cocked.
He turns around - sound and sight of 14 pistols being cocked.
He nearly shat himself.
Cops called, someone very fat sat on him, everyone denied pulling a weapon, police knew fine well what was going on - the team heard him grunting on the way out as he got a good kicking. Barman bought a round, everybody happy.
The cops refused to be in the pic just in case, but I still have a picture of two halfwits handcuffed on the ground, face down in the car park - the old man (lawyer) said he needed it as "evidence" in case the team were prosecuted...

Hope that dont happen to my Golf with a boot lol
Its never an empty road anyone crashes on here everyone uses the Deer or Sheep excuse !
Yep putting up a sign with No shooting written on it is like a magnet to shooters lol
Are you North or South? Ive been shooting at Ashbourne and Ballykinler army base.
Ashbourne was really good we got a lock in in the Ashbourne hotel lol a proper lock in with no way out!
Funny thing was the Scots Irish and Welsh all went out together and the English went back to the team hotel and never mixed!
