I crashed a steamroller a few weeks ago There may be pictures soon enough and I might just direct you to them (might, I'm a bit embarred about it. It was however, the first time I've ever driven one)

Well, steam rollers don't turn like cars do. You have to get turing the wheel way before the engine starts to change direction.
Not knowing this I overcompensated on the first corner to avoid some cars and crached into a ditch then a wall. Good thing it stopped there as on the far side of the wall was a fairground.
Thats great, first time I've ever actually got onto the road driving and i get about 25 feet before nearly writing it off.
Dad wasn't so pleased about me doing that.
It looked a bit like this one but bigger

An antique too, it looks like!

Yes!
It cost quite a lot of money.
A repair job would have been costly

So there wasn't a lot of damage then?

No. It was a close thing though.
It looked as if the front wheel was going to come of when we were getting it back out but luckly a guy who'd been driving the things for years was at the wheeland he was very careful.
Aparently the prong bits at the front are suprisingly fragile

Once again. Ouch.
Hope your dad isn't too angry!
Hey, are you coming back to the Magicians' Guild?

I think at this point, you can just reappear, and no one will really care! 
On the main page, there's a Playing Catch Up thread, where you can read the Reader's Digest condensed version of what's been going on.
