I wouldn't want to see the size of her

I reckon the car has had a slow roll (probably from a near standstill down a soft ground embankment) starting on the passenger side and possibly ending back on its wheels with a heck of a thump. o/s suspension looks 'out' and I notice there are no shots of the alpine roof.

Well JMC, that seems a more than plausible description of event ...
did you escape unhurt then !!!

Rolled in real world or test conditions Joe? I've often been asked how easy it is to roll them.

Real life x 2 and test conditions x 1. I understand that in terms of rolling them it is easier to roll a FFRR but they are pretty good. My involvement tends to be more about how the withstand the crash and that is excellent. I have to say that the most impressive is the XC90 where they can roll it 6 times and still open and close each door. D3 was crash tested at the Safety Center in Gothenburg and it performed very well with LR's techies learning a lot from their Swedish friends. I read somewhere that stats show a higher incidence of D3 roll overs per MMT in France than anywhere else. No idea why this should be the case.

I was involved with a case last year where a RRS performed badly in a side impact and it showed how it really needed the same chassis set up as the D3.

Try and keep yours sunnyside up Rich!!

I hit a tree on a steep slippery slope last December . Even though I ended up sideways on the track I never once felt that it was going to go over .....despite the momentum and a 20 - 30deg angle

Rich. Wondered how you hit that tree with the n/s wing. Sideways down there I'm glad I didn't know about that before I went sideways on the Toboggan Run.
