friend recently crashed is vectra, did quite a good job tbf, theres a long straight that goes down hill into a dip and a mild right hander that throws you off to the right slightly so trick is to cut the corner to set you up for going up the other side but friend having recently passed his test didnt cut the corner plus excessive "just passed test speed" = spin round backwards into a 5ft ditch whitch he went into so hard it bounced back out on to the verge. dont think its a saver but hey lets face it any body thats into cars usually kills there 1st car 
arrival upon the scene to recover and looks a proper job

daylight confirms this



drivers door did open and shut which was a surpise considering


he walked away unhurt no doubt in part to the fact he was wearing the seatbelt so remember kids always buckle up

Bloody hell, flipped it on its edge. I'm surprised it stayed like that long enough for you to take the pictures

Tool least he walked away from it, not much fun having to go and scrape peoples bodies up off the road then inform their relatives! Dread to think what his insurance will be like now!
