Thread: I broke the 90

I might just go and buy one of them Powerball's then.

I have no marks from that crash at all, I did crack my head on the B pillar a few times when driving the coach road that hurt more the rolling the 90

I do believe it was luck though

Very sad that you had to experience that, but great news that you came out of it without injury! I hope the insurance process isn't too much hassle!

The damage doesn't look too bad in that photo considering your description of a cart wheel over the bullbar. It doesnt take much to re-skin a defender, hopefully insurance see it that way.

How fast were you going when it kicked out?

Thank Christ you are ok.
It would seem that it may be a write off, and that may be the best result for you.
It was a damn nice car.

Hi Manic. I'm not sure how fast but not very as it was very hilly and soft and full of bulldust patches, I never seen the gravel coming though.

And Harry it was not just a car it's a friend. I do / still do love the 90 even if I becomes the weekend warrior.

And truth be told I'm glad it didn't have them airbags, it would have been real messy

Bummer Gary, Glad your OK. I shed a private tear for your car, never like to see a Defender in pain.

It would be very cool if the insurance buys you a new one and if you can retain the write off and make a cool weekend toy!!

But how about that May town track!! Awesome hey? I agree, best piece of driving on the whole Cape.

Cheers,

Jolly bad luck - old chap
Good to see nobody was hurt (bar your pride)

Hey Garry
Sorry to hear about the 90 it's a nice truck, glad your OK though. I know what you mean about the truck being a friend though, I get told by Bre and Steph, I like "The Tardis" more than them. ( I know who gives me more grief)Would be a great project to rebuild it into a weekend warrior if they deem yours a statutory write off. I did the raising of the cubby box and drivers seat rails recently as we discussed, best thing I ever did.
Cheers Ian
