Helens GV is no more!!! :(

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Really sucks to see the end of the GV!

Glad Helen is ok though!

That must have been scary, glad to hear that she is mostly OK, I do hope that she recovers quickly.

Waaayyyy Im alive!!!!!! Really pleased about that fact. Being a girl it is hard to remain calm however apparently I am the best type of person in a crisis... as soon as it happened my first thought was ' right hazards on'! After a brief moment of wondering why my personal belongings seemed to be stuck to my passenger door window I picked it all up and escaped from the boot (after reclining the back seats which is a feature I love) and calmed everyone else down.

I have achieved several things today: I have never thrown away £2500 willy nilly, never crashed into a tree/ditch or sideways, never had breathaliser test, and never been read my rights by a police officer.

All I can say is thank god I was driving that truck, it took the impact for me so I could escape pretty much intact apart from the glass in my hands, eyes and everywhere else you wouldn't believe glass could get... I loved that car and love it more even though its sat looking very sorry for itself on the drive.

SUZUKI ALL THE WAY!

...and thanks guys for the help, and I know you enjoyed getting to play with your toys! ;)

Seeing the bigger pictures, yeah, it must have been a hell of a bump but it clearly took it like a champ. Glad you're okay Helen.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I know I'm a bit biased towards Suzuki but its taken it bang smack in the middle of both A pillars and on the roof and it all stayed largely in shape. I'm really impressed!

I've seen a Discovery that has rolled over on a side slope and the A pillars gave way. If you drew a straight line from the top of the B-pillar to the end of the bonnet the roof was like that.
