Looks like a little too standard to be doing this kind of thing...

Something doesn't look quite right, would I be correct in calling 'shop?

That ones been around a while, and as far as it would seem it is real!

I would have loved to have seen the landing, probably a bit 'Dukes of Hazzard' with the front caving in and the chassis bending nicely I would imagine.

Seem to recall seeing this on the "Show us your crash pictures" thread.

Don't think the result of it was too pretty...

If that's real and wasn't knackered after, a very good effort!

+1

Subaru suspension handles rough stuff much better than most, but there is a limit! Looks like its going to land sideways too which doesn't help...

I got some large air in my old Alfa 145 Cloverleaf. That survived perfectly well. Although I guess it helps if you land on all four wheels evenly!

Used to get air on the way to/from work in a Metro demo car, bottoming and then cresting a dip, way back in the early eighties. It always landed more or less on all fours, and there were often sparks as it bottomed out. After weeks of this, I got a flat, and when I took the spare out, there was a banana shaped/sized hole in the spare wheel well floor pan, with equivalent scuff markings on the spare tyre side wall.

Quotes from scoobynet thread:

"Front tow eyes took the impact, suspension is std uk2000 and is fine, car drove spot on after the flying lesson"

"The airbag going off is what caused us to do a spot of off roading 'cos we couldn't see the road"


hehe

Top class nutterism really.
