Rolling a car, even multiple times rarely results in serious injuries unless you hit something other than the ground on the way through. Sure it wrecks the car but the occupants only get a shake up, not a sudden stop that really hurts. The biggest dangers are shit flying around the cabin like fire extinguishers or wheel braces or arms going out the window.

So Andrew at Forest Rally was quite lucky, thinking of the impact wrench/gun that came loose and can be seen in my photos posted elsewhere. (Leigh has a copy of them if Andy doesn't want to show you)

Nah, Andy was pretty f'king unlucky. He nearly got away without rolling the car at all.

Yeah, I saw the pics of the rattle gun flying out the window. Yes, lucky I suppose he didn't wear it in the chops. I'm still reluctant to carry a fire extinguisher "within reach" of the driver because all the brackets are absolute shit and I'm sure they'll come out in a decent hit.

Think you will find he did, and that is not a flat out drag race like targa west (there are actuall corners in TT)

Don't I know that one - big red scratch in my old peltor from a fire extinguisher to the head although the broken ribs hurt more.....

Agreed. I know which one I'd rather win.

I guess thats the challenge for Steve now. Go to TT and win in it there. Quinn did.

Yeah Tas is certainly the goal. Unfinished business after making love to a tree previously.
