h2ypr Unregistered H	Ditto above comments - wish you a speedy recovery. As proccy said, reminds me of Sammiboo's as well. That was a collapsed wheel bearing that cause the car to slam into a barrier and flip from memory? At least the coupe done the job of keeping you alive, but sorry to hear of all your injuries. Ross

I hope you make a quick, full recovery. Mick Happy

porkypaul Unregistered P	By look of the pics there doesn't look much impact too the front so that's probably why the airbags didn't go off. Sometimes that's a good thing because the airbags can cause more injuries than the actual crash. The car did it's job and your here to tell your story. I've seen a lot less damage to a car where the occupants haven't been so lucky.

Pretty traumatic event for me, only being 25 and my first EVER car accident... But I now have another car - a mini copper s waiting for me at home - courtesy of my mum. Maybe I'll purchase another coupe at some point. Sprint blue. But 5 years with my Porto gave me many smiles!

May i respectfully suggest that, depending on the circumstances of the accident, you might like to consider a vehicle that sits higher off the road like a people-carrier or 4x4 of some type? Some people report feeling more secure when they can see more
