More pics to follow just give me a bit of time as have to sort stuff out
Bloody hell, are you ok?
Ouch... not the best place for a sleepy
Bugger mate, disaster, everyone ok?
what are you trying to say Damn man that looks like it hurt all ok???
Now why would you go and do that for??
I gather everyone is ok... do you have insurance that will cover you for that.
I've seen a few GQ's go over at the CruiserKhana over the years , they seem to be able to handle it quite well.
Other than a Mirror you may find minimal damage, well I hope so
Firstly are you ok?? And secondly should've bought a GU!!!!
Yep I am all good. The car will be a write off. I've got more photos and will put them up soon. Just finished removing all the good stuff that wasn't insured off it like my bar work and winch. Going to get cleaned up then I get on the computer and post a vid and more pics.
wrong time of year for this to happen buddy you ok
Thats not good at all, hope no one was hurt, can happen all too easy, and when you least expect it.
Glad your ok and no one is hurt.... one of those oops lesson learnt moments!!!Quote:

Bloody hell mate, poor GQ, glad you're ok though, that's the main thing
Mate no good at all. Glad everyone is ok. Look into doing a insurance buy back for all the other good stuff like tyres, suspension and motor.

I am insured with RAC and when I spoke to them they said they will cover the troll because
1. it was used for it intention eg. a 4wd used in its 4wd capacity and not doing dumb stuff
2. it was on gazetted road in a 4wd area
when I stopped at the top of the hill the car stalled and started to roll backwards even though I was hard on the brakes, I popped out the clutch to try and get 1st gear to try and arrest the backward motion but instead it actually kicked the car over and the engine was dieseling by running in reverse so when the clutch came out it pushed me quicker backwards.
Happened so easily. Bugger mate.
oh well in search of a new wagon now.

Pretty tough gig. Goes to show how easy it can happen though, good reminder to us all to be careful as we can. Glad no one was hurt.
Poor thing, it just needed a little power nap.
Good to here that no one was hurt and yes how quickly things can change.
Glad to see everyone was ok. If I started watching that video without knowing what to expect, no way known that I'd expect a roll-over.
Happened so quick. Onwards and upwards mate.
