Hope the occupants were ok. If I had to guess I would say spin and roll, from the mud it looks like it was wet at the time.

Ouch

Hope they were OK - are TVR's as safe as the S in crashes?

I would think the occupants were ok, unless they were really unlucky and something came into the cabin. Fingers crossed.

Alex - don't Tamoras have airbags? Or is it some micro jobby?

If I remember correctly from Pistoneheads, car slid and then rolled into field. I believe occupants were ok.

No airbags in a Tamora (or ABS, traction control) Peter Wheeler thinks that they have no place in a TVR!

Will change soon I expect, especially if TVR intend to enter the US market.

Not sure if Peter has much say in the matter now.
Better ask Nikolai Smolenski

I know the lad who had this little bump - Nubbin is one of the sight moderators on Pistonheads. He lost it on the country road just a few hundred yards from his house...

Ended up upside down in a field. He walked away thankfully!

Now he has another one!
