Opps = too much gas + not enough skill

No chassis damage as best as i can see,just need a few bits of suspension,wheels,tyres,time money etc,etc

Im ok apart from sore ears(the wife) and a bruised ego..

Please be careful out there..

Yes... But the components are doing their job in an accident. They are absorbing the impact, and lessening the forces being transmitted to the main passenger cell / cockpit.

In my Land Rover, Its a case of "The Car in Front is my Crumple Zone"

You dont want that technology on a sevenesque type car.
