The wheels and underside were a bit wonky too!

It always makes me wonder what on earth people were doing when you see accidents like this. the car is bloody 4 wheel drive, i appreciate most of the power is at the back but still you have to make a right royal F**k of it to do that

I bet his NOT "luvin it"

The only thing 4WD drives is give you better traction. That's it. Going into a corner too fast it doesn't matter what drive you have.

I understand what your saying but its a little bit of a contradcition in terms. If 4wd drive gives you more grip, it still gives you more grip in the corners which still means these crashes must really have to be pushing hard to get it that wrong

Avoiding a kid that ran out into the street......Maybe not but you have no other facts to go on.

just a thought but could you run your electric of that lampost

[Koing]

that'll buff out

Adding "Lamborghini shields" is clearly caused it by unbalancing the car.

Always sad to see a crash, hoping no one else was involved, it could have been worse though, lucky the impact point was past the seats and not directly onto the passenger compartment.

[UH-Matt]

The front has also taken some impact, look at the bumper.

No, it really doesn't. The only benefit in corners is reduced torque-effect under power.

Terribly sorry to hear, but as you say the important thing is that nobody was hurt.
