I love Indianapolis. Great restaurants, warm people. Basically, it's a big city trying its damndest to be a small town! And now a new reason to love that area! Roundabouts are not limited to the downtown monument circle on Meridian!
I think that we should begin a new award section. Annually, we should organize to give awards to the best photos of Crossfires as they take over roundabouts in every location - a bevvy of SRT-6s, N/As, roadsters and coupes taking over and circling local roundabouts. Local GTGs and cruises could make a roundabout photo part of their day's activity. Photo submissions to the forum could have the forum sponsors select the winning entries. Even submit the winning photo to the calendar!
We can call these annual awards - The 180s in honour of the OP.
Warning. This is the kind of thinking that develops when the long Canadian winter is looming!
Where I lived in the UK it was a mile from South Mimms and just down the road from there was Bignells Corner which later had a huge three level roundabout constructed there. There was a smaller one when I lived there. It is one of the largest in the UK.
On a visit there in the 1980's I remember trying to get to Watford and this roundabout and the construction in the area always frustrated my efforts to get to this town. My wife swore that you could not get to Watford from my parents house.
We did eventually get there but had a hard time getting back. Not knowing the area anymore I lost all sense of direction and the signs only added to my confusion as I thought I knew how to get there the old way. This roundabout is so large you have time to read a map when you are on it, but who needs a map?
