She phoned me at midday to say "I've flipped the GV"

She's fine after a trip to hospital to get the glass out of her hands and eyes and have a quick check up as she bumped her head but the car is blatantly a write off.

As per usual my mates sprang into action to get it back the right way up and home.

The GV has taken it like a champ and probably saved her life compared to a similar accident in a euro box or older smaller 4x4.

The photos really don't do it justice. It flew through the air and hit the trees roof first then dropped into the ditch. You can see in the bottom left of the windscreen a hole where a branch speared the screen! :shock:

The winch on Ju's Jimny put it back on it feet with ease.

Well I sent Dan a text earlier saying I would like to get out in my Jimny, and this ensured that I did.

You have a 2L for your SJ now Dan

Glad she's ok mate, looks like quite an impact. Good to see the car took the brunt of it,
Trees seem to stop cars quite well.
