The pilot reported that whilst cruising at 7000 feet, he heard a loud "bang" accompanied with a severe vibration. He then transmitted a "Mayday" call. During the subsequent orbit, clear of cloud, he noticed a paddock with what appeared to be a landing strip. The throttle was closed and a glide approach was commenced. Further into the approach, the pilot noticed that the strip was obstructed by irrigation pipes. He then realised that the only other suitable alternative for a forced landing was a nearby road. During the landing roll, the left wing struck a road speed sign, causing the aircraft to veer off the road and into a fence.
