Glad to hear you're all OK Ben. Shame to see then end of such a nice '8, but it did its job and kept you all safe. Another reason not to step down a level of car, fuel economy means nothing when someone's picking bits of you up from the roadside.

Cheers fellas! Definitely a testimony to the cars strength! Makes u think!
My wife was being a crash last night, almost exactly same circumstances and it took fire crews 2hours to get the badly injured woman out of her Pug 207!!!!!

I think the only reason I got away with buying my S8 was the "safety" argument.

But then SWMBO had walked away from being rear-ended at 60mph while static at a red light, due to being in a big, strong car. It literally had a bend in EVERY panel and the boot lid was well into the back seats; luckily she was alone.
(confession; it was an Austin Ambassador, and we got more from the insurers than we paid for it!)

I'm glad everyone's OK Ben, sorry about the car though....

Bill Blank's experience is yet another testament to the safety/ strength/ build quality of these magnificent vehicles.

I hope you don't mind Ben but I thought I'd illustrate the post with your pictures of the car...
