    Young people have money too these days, some even have good taste in cars. The banks love lending it, how many WRXs are driven by old farts, they are not cheap(about the same as a Defender last time I looked) so they must borrow it. Or they are drug dealers.
    When I was a kid my dad was a copper and if he saw someone with long hair driving a Porsche or Roller he would write down the rego cause "They must have stolen it."

    Bull****!

    Computer failure was not involved.
    Lack of driving training is the reason for the rollover.
    He clutched in and it took off backwards.
    No two ways about it, it was driver error, not the vehicle.

    Glad they got out OK... Lesson learnt!

    Theres a stall recovery procedure for that situation.

    Engine is still running in the video as it rolls backwards, lack of experience would be the key to the situation.

    Rollover

    Beautifully put TR

    I suspect your spot on. I'm not sure I got skilled at off road until I was about 22 or 23 so as you pointed out they should Chalk that one up to experience!

    As he goes down hill past the camera, the front wheels are locked up, so the brakes are working.
    He is standing on everything in sheer panic, clutch included
    Good to see they got out OK, no one wants to see anyone get hurt.

    Of course... you are 100% right here. I reckon the hill was steeper than it looked on the video too.

    Computer failure causing lack of brake boost??? WTF? The fender has a vacuum pump driven by the engine. Hydraulic brakes (even assuming a vacuum failure they would still work). A mechanical handbrake etc etc.
