fabia vrs vs laws of physics

[vindaloo]

I went over 1/2' date=' I hit a low bank at 70mph and the car did half forward roll landing on the roof. It was pretty horrendous, I broke my neck in 2 places, my back in 2 places and lost quite a bit of hair, but what I lost in hair I gained in pieces of glass in my scalp! :eek:

I've made full recovery now though... thank god!

P.s. I got out without taking my seatbelt off...:confused:[/quote']

F*ck! My AX GT got preyed upon by a BMW compact. P*ssed me off at the time but I can see the upside of it as I was only doing about 10-15mph when we hit and got

is this a testamanet to the strangth of the fabia or auncovering a bad chassis/car desgin that lends itself to up and over cornering techniques? :rubchin:

how many on here have rolled octavia's?

[MikeW]

Phew! Glad your alright, thanks your lucky stars you weren't in a Fiat Uno!

[Josh_PoloGTi]

Glad you're ok mate.

Pretty sturdy little cars by the looks of things!

I was wondering when someone would say something like that, not many Superbs get rolled either

The Fabia is quite a tall narrow car so I guess having a diesel lump fairly high up makes for a fairly high centre of gravity, and therefore more prone to rolling in extreme circumstances.

How many rolled fabias have been on E-bay too? Insurance group hike likely?

I think Octys just tend to have shunts, not rolls though - I think its because furby drivers always seek the style scores when in an accident. 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

That's a bit harsh isn't it................Oh shunts.

bit achy this morn! did say to my fleet man that if the car was mine the first thing i would do is lower it! still, it stood up thats the main thing

[Octygone]

The I.B.M.A. enclosure will have to be made bigger at the next meet, can I just point out that having an inverted Furbie is not a part of joining Briskoda

Glad you are OK mate

[Dr Zoidberg]

The I.B.M.A. enclosure will have to be made bigger at the next meet,

Perhaps we could just stack them up?

[matt8373]

From the Fleet Managers prospective and also right way up!

Very luck escape! :eek:

Cars can be replaced good members of staff can not.

[matt8373]

For Sale 4 slightly kerbed alloys

More prone to rolling, hmm might be something to so with muppets slamming them into kerbs..lol

Insurance hike? Probably if people keep writing them off.

Glad your OK though mate, hopefully it will slow you down a bit and there wont be a next time.

Wow... every single panel!

Bit of polish, good as new, etc.

Might suggest to MD it will T-Cut out.

[Carsten]

Good to see , that you are alive and OK..

The rest is only ( insured) metal and glass ..

More and more, I think that the classic "Jason" to furbys

is same as the "Elk-Test" for the Mercedes A-Class

[ric04vrs]

AND the glovebox stayed closed!

probably fixed the rattle on the lid aswell hope your body is not too battered and bruised today

As ws said the difference between newer cars and older ones safety wise is amazing.

Here are the results of my Peugeot 406 cross country expedition in 2004.

I sort of walked away from it (knee ligament damage but nothing else)

[bengie]

thats quite broken but peugeots are notorius for being made from bacofoil

You considered having some advanced driving tuition, mate? One cross country expedition would make me question my driving ability, but 2 in 2 years :eek:

Glad you walked away though

I doubt anyone will ever roll an Octavia, never seen one going at more than 30 MPH. Then again if grandpa ever did manage to invert one at least the flat cap might protect his head.

Nothing inherently unstable about the Fabia vRS, you can roll anything if you hit a kerb side on.

[bengie]

xav's didn't roll after hitting a kerb, just went sideways mid corner and rolled.

you kiddy fabia drivers seem to think that the more mature members(octavia drivers) drive everywhere at 30mph i can assure you it certainly isn't true

Get your pipe and slippers bengie and stop whinging you old git
