Yes, pretty lucky really, going really slow, flipped over, no injuries and no glass broken not even the mirror!
Back on it's wheels within about half an hour though by that time oil had got into the cylinders and it wouldn't turn. Whipped the ignition coils and leads off, took all the plugs out turned it over, cylinder 4 was the one with the oil. Put it all back together and drove home leaving a slight smoke screen. Jimny lives to fight another day!!



The bonnet is not damaged at all though it looks it in this photo, the tywrap was there before, the orienteering punch card was there earlier in the day.

The dent up the edge of the tail light was there before just the one at the bottom of the window is new, must have been pretty close to breaking the window.

doesn't look like you even cracked a wheel arch!
Are you going to repair the dents or leave them as battle scars?

a bit luckier than me !
you were very close to breaking the windscreen looking at the dints in the A pillar, I broke my screen last time it went over, this time it was the OSR quarter window and the mirror plus a dint in the quarter. No oil in the cylinders for me but in the two minutes it was on its side I lost £20 of fuel out of the fuel cap !

While its not a great situation to get into at least its another benefit of their light weight in that they fare quite well. Its not like having 2t of d90 on its side.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!
