PS: I "almost" made it around. I was about 90% of the way around before
the RR tire, which was sideways on the shoulder, dug in ... and airborn I
went!

There were other factors. It was 4 am and I wasn't alone. It was a twisty
road and I knew there was a sign where the hairpin was, so I was going
faster and not paying 100% attention to the road; counting on that sign. We
walked away from it with a deep cut to the palm of my hand and probably a
concussion.
Other lessons that I learned the hard way:
Just because the light turns green doesn't mean that the traffic has stopped
for their red light.
( company car right off. I walked away from it with a bruised leg where the
door came in to meet me. )
Just because it is a one way street, don't just look one way before
crossing. ( almost got run over by a wrong way driver. )
There must be more ...

Maybe you shouldn't rely on signs to tell you how to cope with corners!

Well ... the invisibility of the car didnt't have anything to do with the
accident. The missing sign that would have warned about the hairpin corner
had more to do with it.
It had lived for 3 years ( 2 owners ) without mishap before that.

See, it's that invisibleness thing again. I am glad my Sevens are very
shiny, especially when the sun hits them.
