Those concrete blocks made a shiver go up my spine.

Years ago, when I had the 924S, I was mid-way through a well-known winding country road, lining up the car ahead for the passing stretch around the next bend. Coming out of the bend, we met an old pick-up with a wooden body and 'stuff' on the back. I was already in a lower gear and accelerating to pass and was up to the car's rear wheel when I realized there was a concrete block in the middle of the lane I was in. I had time to nail the brakes, tuck in behind the car then overtake him as planned.

After I was by, wondering where the block had come from, I recalled the POS truck with the stuff on the back and the frost-heaved section of road and wondered if he had lost that block just before he met us. He wouldn't have driven over it and I knew I would have lost oil sump and Lord knows what else had I collected it.

Watch out for these guys!
