Ouch, sounds nasty. Lucky to get out.

Similar thing happened to my hatch, near miss with a badger on a corner sent me careening off the road, although I was lucky to keep it on all four wheels (well almost lol).

[Naysnova]

Sorry to hear it mate you was lucky :o

[ade]

sh1te!

Thats scarey - My wife did a similat thing a year ago to the day in her MG ZR - aquaplaned on the striling straights (thats in for the english amongst you) lost control and rolled into a field.

Glad your okay - for a "bean can" the shell seems pretty intact - considering it took 6 rolls.

[jamie gsi16v]

ouch, glad your ok mate but 40mph and rolled 6 times, or is that what you told the police?

[dunova]

Jeeeez, good work on getting out of that one, looks nasty..........
