On the subject of the wheels, it looks like the offside set 'survived' until they were subjected to the full weight of the car and its momentum. If cornering loads can get up to 10 tonnes at the wheel bearings then I am not surprised by the failure of the spokes in this instance.
Not many wheels, steel included, would have survived that impact. Good to see that there were no physical injures other than pride probably.
The driver of the oncoming car would have need a change of underwear no doubt.LeighW
The old girl is on her third engine...
* first ran a bearing (design failure in original engine)
* second had a failure of the water outlet on top of the engine (pls check yours)

Rolled several times?
I count one full turn and a quarter turn.
Car did its job and kept her safe, why she drove up the ramp must be the question.
