LMFAO i reversed thru the old Maccas that used to be in Mermaid Beach, but I got stuck and had to go backwards/forwards about 100 times to get around the last corner......... it also took a while, but it was also a shitload of (immature) fun!!

The thing I'm scared of is not rims, but scraping under my doors on the gutters because the Berlina is so low.

I always swing REAL wide and try keep it as straight as possible.

don't want to sound like a smart arse tellin' ya how to drive but remember the car actually rotates around the back axle as you turn. You need to have the centre of the back wheel past the curb before you start to turn. I accept that some drive throughs are tighter than others but I used to get to drive my mates '65 impala all the time because no-one else could get it through the drive through and that is one W-I-D-E car.

True that. When im driving in car parks/drive thrus the missus always says to swing wider cause I almost hit the gutters and I tell her the same thing, that I only have to get the back wheel past the gutter to turn in. Doesnt stop her going on about it tho.
