Jesus bloody wept!

Without the cling film it looks even worse!

I think the temp gauge was fooked in the bang too... 50 degrees C

Mate, again, I can't believe you have got out of that alive, it's simply ****ing shocking.

I'm sure we will raise a glass or two to you this weekend, just because you are still with us.

I have just noticed that the engine has twisted about 40 degrees too. That must have been the rolling that did that. As it has not been pushed back.

How long will to take to get to Germany at 25mph!

It's ****ing shocking when you think about it. Something we take a bit for granted that they will go off, a massive shock when they don't.

I only noticed the twisted engine by the movement of the M badge. I think it's because it hasn't move into the car or out of it that it's not so easy to spot.

f**k me. Looks like you were very lucky to walk away in the state you are. Shame about the car but it is only a bit of metal at the end of the day.

If he was in the Scoob his bags would of worked. Jap's are still one of the best with there electrics. They also stand up to a good impact [if thats the right word] The safty cell's are fantastic.

Like we need an excuse!

Having seen those pics, i'm backtracking on my comment in the other thread a bit - surely at least some of the bags should have deployed.

as people have said, was a lovely car but just a lump of metal at the end of the day!

Unfortunatly killed two classics and been in another when it was killed.
They are a lot stronger than you would expect.
They are not good side impact but otherwise excellent.
Oh and airbags damn hurt.
