First I have to say somehow I would have expected to see a pink car ;-)
Your story reminded me of my Fiat Uno I once had! Driving quickly in a roundabout, sometimes the oil light began to shine for a moment. And out of experiance by time I knew "okay! Time to check oil level!"
This oil refilling timing always was perfect

211 is more then fair, wished I'd have those guys here just around the corner :-)
