I am very glad and happy that both of you are Ok
As an owner of a Defe I am flabbergasted abouth the amount of damage on the Defe as a result of a relative slow speed accident :eek:
I think that i will start looking into roll cages for my 110 and hope that my wife is brave enough to keep touring in the Defe or I would need to get a second car :(
OMG :eek::eek: What a mess! Glad no serious injuries. Good on the truckie :)
Really glad you guys are OK, but I'd reckon you'd be having those 'sudden stop' dreams for a time!:( I had them for months after my head on with a car on my M'bike.)
I showed these pics to SWMBO and the rollcage discussion has arisen again. You never know when or how an accident will pan out.
Again, good to hear injuries were at a minimum.

Geez:o:eek::eek:
Glad you and your sister escaped with relativelly minor injuries. The pics look horrific. Roof and pillar should not have ripped off like that, but may be testimony to the strength of the Fender that you got out OK.
Unbelievable damage from just a blowout at 70kmph.
Hope you recover well.
:):)
wow !!
thats all i got to say excet congratulations on realising your luck. a lot of people would walk away fron an accident like that and then go buy a different car cos they had an accident in that type previously so it cant be any good and not see that in fact if they were ossibly in another vehicle with that tpye of accident might not walk away from it like you did. freind of mine rolled a patrol 3 times, walked away from the accident then went and bought a laser cos the patrol wasnt safe. i am like "you walked away from a triple rollover, how more safe could it be?"
Christ, you lucky lucky bastard. 10 pts for surviving that one.
don't think your sister will take a ride with you for a while.
what's the story with the tyres? I assume they are tubeless being on alloys. Why did they deflate so rapidly on a bitumen road?
Yikes! Makes my experience on Tuesday seem insignificant....

Left is my car, right is the LC that did it to me. Sadly that nudge bar did some nasty things to the exhaust.
Otherwise all I lost was my iPhone and Landy (temporarily for both thanks to Allianz).
Your iPhone?:confused: Did you have it on the baack bumper?:angel:Quote:
