Probably hit that concrete kerb, no doubt being Jap it fell to pieces and just toppled over.

Even Alastair Campbell couldn't spin a good story out of this one. I could understand if they had been 'ragging it' to the scene of a toppled cone, but in a service station is quite an achievement. Maybe too many doughnuts? Or maybe it was trying to match the legendary grip and cornering ability of a Defender?

Ooooh dear.
Almost certainly 100% human error, wonder if they kept their job... 
If there was any chance of saving that vehicle (although probably slim) it was lost on the recovery...

Thanks Skip. I cannot believe our taxes pay for these people.
I am not sure which is worse, crashing in a Service Station or the recovery? Is the latter a recognised technique? Maybe the driver was determined to get it 'written off' so that he could upgrade to a Q5 or Disco4? Monsieur Le Grenadier

Seen that on FB. Not sure if true, but apparently he tried to go up the really high curb on the left to stop, but it took him to high on one side and over she went!
Though that pic doesn't look to high, unless he tried it at speed? People also state that the recovery technique is in fact one of the methods in their books. Not sure on this one myself. |

Maybe...you never know what was on his mind...not safe driving techniques I think it is fair to assume... 
Let's hope he doesn’t get the keys to... Click image to enlarge SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html |
