In case anyone was wondering about the safety of these vehicles I can attest that these are SOLID vehicles.

Last night I was on the highway when a large (60') transport truck and a 4 door Honda Civic tried to merge into each others lanes and the truck clipped the rear end of the Civic. The truck spun the Civic around and started to plow it down the highway when the Civic broke free and spun right into me. I barely felt the collission but once the Civic hit me it bounced right off me and flipped over twice and landed on it's roof. The driver of that car was taken away by ambulance but is in OK condition. I am fine and really didn't feel the hit much at all. I will say the passenger side of the truck is completely smashed and I even have 3/4" deep gashes in the rims.

Drive safe everyone but also be comfortable knowing this is a very safe vehicle.

jmccaff, I feel so sorry for you. Fortunately, you are not hurt yourself but I can imagine how it feels.
I wish you more luck in the future.

Could have been worse you could have been in the Civic!! Don't wish to be weird but any photo's??? Come on guys you were all thinking the same!!!

I knew someone would ask for photos and I would be happy to post some but I didn't take any. I'll see if I can go by the dealership tomorrow and take some.

It's confirmed by the dealer. I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO CRASH AN LR2 IN CANADA!!!!

Is yours repairable or will you be waiting for a new one ?

It's repairable. I took some photo's this morning and I'll try to get them up tonight.

Thanks!

Sorry can't figure out how to post pics. No one want'e to see that stuff anyway!

Hi Jimccaff,
You may go to Gallery (just under the site header), then create a new album (give it your name) and then go to upload pictures.

Easy to follow instructions for posting pics are in also here http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic4.html How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Thanks for all your help. Pics up in the gallery.

I think a new door handle, a splash of T-cut and a wheel polish, and you won't notice anything !!

Seriously, it's really good to see how these vehicles hold up in a real accident, just a real pity for you that you had to be the one to find out first! Hope the repairs are done quickly (and well), so you can be back on the road soon.

Thanks! I'm still waiting to hear if I'm the first person to crash one in North America. I've got Canada locked up now I'm going after the USof A
