Ooh dear!

Good to hear that the driver escaped serious injury.

I trust that your Turbo is performing impeccably on its winters, Nick.

Always amazing how "easily" a car will flip.

I like the disclaimer

Gert lush thanks Simon. Quite few miles recently at sub 7 degrees!

That surprised me as well. He wasn’t going that fast and suddenly upside down. Will try to avoid that trick!

Yes, I bet that got his attention. Did you notice right at the end of the clip the car finally rotates back onto its wheels! A full barrel roll.

But just as an aside, that's why it's better to fit new tyres on the back of a car (with same size all round of course) because a tyre failure on the rear is more difficult to control, for average drivers, and is more likely to cause the car to roll.

Did someone mention cars flipping over?
