Thread: Now this is very real

Wow, that's full on! Glad they are ok.

I did chuckle at the brake lights coming on when they were going down the hill.

He did good to put the brakes on after that

i'm covered for anything as long as i'm on a track and not beating through the bush, which i dont anyway

"there but for the grace of God go I"

I would normally back down with low range reverse engaged to slow the descent. I think he had his foot on the clutch judging by the engine revs.

and stick my head out of the window to keep an eye on the rear wheel

......Mind you I've done some silly things driving forwards

"A couple of impressive things, the motor was still running, the Waeco fridge not only survived but was also still running when we opened the back door"

My Engel survived running upside down for 2 hours in the back of my rolled Disco and 5 years on is still working perfectly - though somewhat battered. It's good to hear a Waeco will keep going too.

That's a very nasty accident, you can see the Pajero's roof got rather squashed the whole length, so I guess no cargo barrier. Glad they walked away from it.

That was amazing, just out of nothing really...

I'd guess it was an auto, especially as he hit the brakes while rolling and the engine still didn't stall. Just seems funny that he didnt stop when he crossed it up on the angle. No doubt a lot of things were going through his mind at the time.

my money would be on an auto. Bet the other half wasn't as impressed as we all are, bit hard to take the kids to school without her wheels.
