Man escapes unhurt after his car skids out of control and narrowly misses Tescos' Pinchington Lane store

A MOTORIST had a lucky escape after his car careered off the road and onto the pavement outside Tescos, Pinchington Lane.
Twenty-one year-old Alex Robinson was on his way to get petrol when he lost control of his car at the roundabout outside the store at around 10am this morning.
The white BMW 316i skidded out of control and crashed onto the pavement landing on the crash barriers and frightened staff watched as the car narrowly missed the store.
Mr Robinson, who was uninjured but very shaken, said: ”aI was just driving around the roundabout when the back end of the car skidded out of control and I ended up manning the curb.
”aI was quite lucky because I could have landed up in the store. I’m really shocked and disappointed by all this.”a
Both police and the fire brigade took around two hours to recover the car.
Thames Valley Police spokesman, Adam Fisher, said the driver had lost control of the car before landing on the pavement.
The immediate aftermath was caught in this picture by Hayley Baikie

I bet he was trying to drift

[R4N_S_S]

looks like the driver ran out of talent

[greentouring]

Could have been nasty......but at least no one was hurt though.

No doubt a nice set of BBS will be available soon then.

[ucpsale]

Just wondering if he whats to get rid of the vehical now.

[R4N_S_S]

[greentouring]

May as well give it a service while its up there..

I'm think Tesco = Desil from the filling station spilt on the road. Newbury's not too far from me.

The amount of times I had spun my old 318i on the stuff at Tesco's in Bedford I am guessing it's possible. I bet what they didn't say was...

A BMW badge as a 316i with a 3.5 lump init went arse backwards into a tescos.

[djk]

I reckon touring too.

I'm guessing 1993/L 316i Touring Lux. No chrome on the doors suggests touring and 15"BBS suggests a late Lux.

What do I get if I'm right?

[greentouring]

A free set of BBS?

[bramley]

Every little helps

[ImysE30]

It say's No Parking

[BigBavarian]

That police officer had a hard day then !!!! in all fairness that was probly 20 bit of paper to fill in.

[stu79uk]

tell me this is,nt the alex we all know from here. does,nt he own a white e30

[mick_318is]

I live in Newbury ( No its not me) and I am still tryin gto Fathom how he did this???
Its a really short stretch of road leading into this rounabout where he has basically tried to perform a 270 deg right turn and only made it approx 240 deg turn
Never seen this touring in around town before so not sure if he is local or not.

[stu79uk]

tesco doughnuts are rubbish shoulda crashed into asda much better ones there.

[maxfield]

He was definitely trying to drift!

There's no way you could get the back end out with giving it the beans and even then it's more likely to understeer. From my previous experiences anyway
