Just desided to share this.

Ouch indeed. I take that's yours? Everyone ok I hope!

Looks very similar to my old 309SRi :(

It was my car until the middle of December when that happened to it (hence the Ibiza). It's looking like I've got 4 scars from it but that's it for long term damage.

This is it at a show earlier in the year.

Ouch. Messy.

that'll buff right out won't it? if not part ex it at my place of work, sure the idiot salemen will give you £1k for it and try and sell it for £2k through trade :)

So you rolled it.

See it as an experience, costing a fair deal of money but that 's OK when you can walk (of limp) away from it.

Now you've done it, don't do it again (or do it in someone else's car). Welcome to the big world. :-)

After I rolled my next incident was a tree. Beware, they jump out form no-where!!

Rolling is actually surprisingly fun.

It's just been sold on by the insurance company for £900. May be one of your salesmen.

Deary deary - looking at the other pic she was quite a looker as well. What model was it? 1.4 TDi?

Yep 1.4TDi colour concept (so it has the factory leather) with most of the trimmings sat nav, aircon.

Agreed. I got 2and 1/2 turns and twist out of an old reliant robin van once. Mind you, I was sideways, in a 3 wheel drift and just about controlling it until it changed from new slippy tarmac to old rough tarmac. Then I highsided it. Which was a shame. The only window that didn't break was the one I had just replaced because it had fell off it's rail and broke after the mechanism seized and I tried to sort it.

It may be fun but the price is somewhat high fot the time it takes.

My rolled car (skidded of the road on lost petrol at full chat-corner) went twice longitudinal and 5 times lateral over. It came to rest on its roof (which was then 5 cm above the steering wheel) about 250 m after the first impact.

There was however a positif note: it was a leased company car. Took a taxi home where my mom asked where my car was. "Oh, just a little accident. Nothing serious."

But the next day in the papers, page 6: picture and a story of how lucky this bloke named "Tom De Moor" was... That evening I had some expleaning to do.

My boss asked me if it was a write-off and I said "yes, it is". And then he asked how I could be so sure. That afternoon he had his newspaper too and then we agreed that's why one has a full insurance covery for. :)

Thought I would not get a new car (so I could buy what I liked) but no luck: 2 days later an identical R19 was delivered (but grey instead of green)
