Snap, only mine does'nt have that dodgey roof chop-job...yet,Ouch!

I hope you were ok!

Hope you enjoyed her while you had her. People have long under estimated this car, sadly, I fear may have over estimated your's.

Got any spares....maybe?

Well, was a few yrs ago now, the crx was my dream car, always wanted one..
However, on a well travelled road by me, one day drove too fast for the conditions.. a very greasy newly wet road.
Lost control half way through the bend, attempted to control it, but became just a passenger after a save one way, but losing it the other, clipped the verge and over it went...
The police did all the reconstruction etc.. calculated I was travelling approx 50 in a 60, they also reported the road was even slippery to walk on, let alone drive at that speed.. possibly diesel on the road with the rain..
Anyway, I must admit I don't recommend learning your lessons in this extreme manor..
I have a constant reminder of a scared hand... but I'm lucky to have got away with just that to be honest.

Sorry no spares left
Enjoy yours, I think they are great cars..

Don't be too ashamed of your self, I did exatlty same in Fred (Mini 1000), but luckily didn't roll her.:howlucky?:


Only bent the nearside front suspension put a massive dent in the already rusty sill (did her a favour realy 'cos I had to fix it then!).
Combination of a well kown road, a humpback bridge, a bank and a ditch...oh and a patch of wet gravel in the landing point kindly left by a passing tractor,

Countryside, what can you do?
