Well, there was a massive smash outside my house last night involving a 4x4 & I was amazed at the result. It was doing about 60mph (in a 30mph limit) It clipped the kerb & rolled over twice on top of a large dry stone wall. I actually saw this happening. I got to the thing & it looked a mess. It was lying on its side so I jumped up on top to open the door. I opened it & there was four lads all over the cabin. I thought they where all dead at first, but they came round & got em out the wreck. They all with one exception where fine. One lad a had a slightly cut knee. The vehicle was in a mess, but the lads inside (apart form doing a runner over the fields!) where unhurt & OK. If I had done this in my car (Mini Cooper S) I would have been toast, even a decent strong motor like my wife's A4 would have had similar results. It goes the shot that 4x4 are pretty strong in the right places! They turned it over & it looked shagged, but it drove on the wrecker truck!!!!
