Not much damage, the Purplebus has a full internal rollcage and racing harnesses on the seats so not much damage to Shano either. It would be hard to damage him further, in fact Unfortunately that rollover did result in the plastic starter motor gear stripping (!) so the 454 was quiet for the rest of the weekend, it has an auto trans so couldn't be roll-started.
His Engel fridge has been through three roll-overs and still works great he doesn't even switch it off when the truck is upside down. He took it to an Engel dealer for something once and the dude said 'mate we don't actually work on those old ones', Shane had to explain that it was only 18 months old (it's the gold anniversary model).
He's a funny bugger and there's never a dull moment when Shane is around... especially if the Purplebus is also around.
