of course it wasnt a straight road.

would be very difficult for the rear wheels to let go, oversteer into a verge and then flip over a few times on a straight road.

How the hell did you manage that (especially in such a POS car)??

Remind me not to drive in North Wales when youre about :shock:


How are you, no injuries or anything? Run us through what happened.


Good thing they didnt give you like for like eh.

going down a hill from my house on the way to work, quite a long right bend with a bit of a crest on it, going around it and the rear wheels just let go. slid into a grass verge and flipped onto its roof and still about 50yrds.

were both ok. just shaken and saw necks. esspecially from when the roof crunched into our heads.

Thats a courtesy car isnt it ??? Rofl, bet the garage has got a few things to say about you !

Glad youre not hurt but looking at that picture and weighing in the fact that youve not had the Micra that long, its fair to say you were more than likely driving like a pleb.

Ragging a courtesy car round like that thats a box on wheels and youre unfamiliar with is bound to end in trouble.

I didnt start driving the MX-5 like a twat until Id had it a good month to get to grips with and replaced the tyres. :thumbup:

I think its the same as this paradox.
What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?
