Mate!

Glad to see you and your sis are out and still breathing!!
(and although in comparison with the potential - im sure the injuries are still a bastard!)

considering it "rode the crash barrier" I think the defender held up MUCH MUCH better than I would have anticipated...

as said by others here, well done by the truckie, seeing you needed to be stopped but having the guts to do it also! - we rarely give these truckies the credit so many of them deserve, we hear a lot of bad stuff but as usual not much good stuff!

mate, Id be grabbing all the l/r badges off it, the steering wheel one for you and mount as a keyring, the back one as a reminder in the shed of how lucky you actually were (bottom of accident framed photos?) and the front one, mounted on wood with a small plate expressing thanks and given to the truckie!


you and your sister get well soon, and until they plug the gap, rest assurred you'll win most spagetti eating competitions!
