I broke the 90

[Garry]

Well after a great 3 weeks up the cape with nothing more than rubbing wheel arches with the 33's and some bush pinstripes I managed to cartwheel the 90.

We had just finished the old coach road from Laura to Maytown which was the best days driving of the whole trip and were heading home along 70ks of the best dirt roads of the entire trip when after around 65ks I managed to come over a hill and skid on some very loose gravel.

The drivers side hit a ditch making the dents you see in the photo, it proceeded to roll over on the bull bar and swinging 90 degrees in the process landing me on the passenger side.

I climbed out the back door and waited for my mate to arrive and we promptly put the rubber side down again and changed the back tyre as it must have hit something pretty hard as the rim was all dented and off the bead

Right or wrong we got it driving again and took it home the remaining 45ks as I wasn't leaving it at the side off the road to get molested by passers by.

It got towed to Cooktown and I am now waiting on the assessors report as to what happens next.

I am home again but will have to drive back up in the D3 to pick up the trailer as we left it up in Lakeland

Depending on how straight the top is,there is a good chance that it is a write off,it doesn't take much damage for them to want to write Land Rovers off

[Garry]

The roof is badly damaged on both sides as is the wings and bonnet. The sides were not bad but it is still a lot of panels the need to be replaced

Geez mate - bummer about the 90 but very glad you are ok!!

[Timj]

Wow, glad you got out safely Garry. Shame, it was such a nice 90 too.

Same thing happened to a Cruiser on the trip we did up there, loose gravel on a corner then hit the ditch and rolled on it's side. Things like that happen so fast.

Cheers,

Tim.

Poor poor 90

Though any rollover you can walk away from is a good one

[djhampson]

Ouch! Thankfully you are all ok tho.

[Grimace]

I'll open the bidding at $67.90


Glad you're all ok, scary sometimes how easy these things can go wrong.
Hopefully its not too much hassle getting it all sorted out.

I reckon if I cut the roof off, copy the front end styling on Pete's 90, add some bar work and a set of 35's it will make a great weekender
