Ouch! Can't believe you walked away unscathed from that one!

Glad you're ok!

Glad you are ok, thats a big one.

One more day for me, winter car is getting picked up on Saturday. I went through a MASSIVE puddle of standing water last Saturday with my 18month old daughter in the passenger seat. We pretty much skimmed over the surface - no warning (it was dark)

Its good weather driving for me and the Elise from Saturday onwards. 8)

Hope you dont feel TOO stiff tomorrow - which is when it will kick in.

Bad luck. Glad to hear that you walked away from that one.

No doubt you'll have one or two aches and pains in the morning.

Holy Cow.........

Good to hear that you are ok, looks torrid.

Looks like the windscreen part is totally demolished and the roll over hoop did the trick....... not much room for getting out I'll bet. This has always been a concern for me as my big noggin sticks above the level of the roll hoop.

A scary wee reminder for us all..........
