pray tell how did they manage that! still coming to terms with my chim 4.3! and looking to avoid up through being over enthuisastic.

Looks like they did well to miss the lamp posts!

[purpleheadedcerb]

Looks just like mine but with 18" spiders. Strange accident that one. Was there any damage to the right hand side of the vehicle?

[thatch]

Why do you think it's an accident?

just looks like it's parked to me.


(His other car is probably a LandRover though!)

[garethgtt]

Its one of those incidents that could be a disaster in so many ways....

1)missed lamposts...bloody lucky
2)didnt go off cliff....

Yep ive got one of them, they have no chance getting it airborn-- need the arms of hercules to get that fella airborne.....or a slight hill and a lead foot!

Actually, I thought he was doing the "We're not worthy" salute

[bomber harris]

Of course it could be the muted 4 wheel drive version undergoing trials

[Toady1]

so no-one actually knows what DID happen then?

[bomber harris]

i found another pic fron a different angle, somebody must have seen it !

[DamnFineChim]

Im not sure i'd own up to it either...

[tweety]

I saw it whilst it was sitting there and thought it had been nicked. Apparently it hadn't and the owner lost it coming off the roundabout, as said before lucky to miss lamposts and cliff. Didn't look too badly damaged, probably more pride than anything else. Not seen it locally so have no idea whose it is.

Blimey how far away is the roundabout, can't see an obvious one in the pictures .

You can just about see the sign for the roundabout on the lamp-post. Must have been an accelerating away from the roundabout, loss of traction, fish-tail, spinny spin type of accident.

[bomber harris]

Time to put this one to bed then, the cerb that no one knew
