The amazing thing about this, is that nobody was killed. And the driver walked away.

From the sound of it, it seems that the driver was going a bit too fast. Well, a lot too fast.

He has left the keys in it, some one might nick it if he is not careful. I think a bit of T-Cut should sort that out a treat

My God. I just had images of there being a passenger in the back, and as a driver looking back after the crash to see only road, [shivers] doesnt bear thinking about.
Glad all involved walked away

He is one lucky man! The only intact bit is where he was sitting.

Good God

I'd like to say it was high quality engineering that saved his life. But it wasn't, it was pure luck. I wonder just how fast he was going.

Tree has got a plaster to show for it though.

Actually, the roof panel welds look like they gave way in the crash, which shouldn't really happen, despite the severity of the impact. But if it did happen, he might have got squashed by the car. One might say poor engineering saved his live

Hmm dunno - don't forget he'll need a specialist to do a bit of rewiring as well...

That's the silliest thing I have heard, if you can't say anything constructive then don't say anything at all. Everyone knows that T-Cut will be too abrasive and may take the lacquer off....better off using a very light polish and a clay bar afterwards........
