Ingrid Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Here's what happens when you cartwheel an Escort though a caravan park. Courtesy of my brother: Flipped this when I was resizing, forgot to change it back, it's not LHD Here's his boot up a 40ft tree: The hedge at the bottom of this pic is taller than me(6'2") and the car cleared it and took out a tree and some branches off of the tree that you can see: You might find the how-to on converting an Escort into a Fiesta quite interesting: No mum jokes, please: My effort doesn't really compare. I hit a patch of something on a dual carriageway bend, spun into the central reservation, backwards, at about 85mph, spun again annd ended up in the right lane traveling at 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingrid Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 The jump over the hedge was actually it's SECOND bounce, so it must've got a fair hight on the first one too.He was actually found in the back of the car because the drives seat buckled :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 glad ur ok,that top one is madness.Shocked at airbag,the car my donor engine is out of looks similar to the red one,but the front end was fine. The back looked like a fez and the floor was buckled so the seats were twisted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingrid Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Quite an effort wasn't it? Basically, it mounted a barrier at the side of the road, but instead of breaking, the barrier bent, creating a kind of ramp!! launched him into the caravan park and down a 10-15ft embankment. Can lands on it's nose, flips, lands on the boot, boot goes up 40ft tree, spare alloy wheel is NEVER recovered(could still be going to this day), car flips again, clearing said 6ft odd bush, and slides/rolls onto it's roof. From the position he left the road he couldn't have been going any faster than 70 and can't remember the accident at ll, so can't recall if he fell asleep or hit ice.
