Yep. He was comming down the hill way too quick, the back passanger wheel and side hit the wall, pulled the diff out of the car, spun the car onto the drivers side, FLIPPED in the air (notice no scratches on the roof) and landed back on its wheels.

That'd suck.
To his defense it'd be pretty hard to get a big truck like that down those thin roads. He should have tried a bit harder though.

Waited for about 40mins and watched them try to get it on a flatbed truck with great amusement.

Was meant to be just a drive for some pics!



I want to join Paracombe CFS.
