Seen on other forums, but perhaps you haven't seen them yet?

Apparently the driver got out without serious injury.

EK_Turbo · Jan 30, 2006

Damn!! At least he was ok. The car looks like it held up extremely well and protected the passenger cabin. Go Golf!!

I think thats gonna need more than a wash and wax!

MAlby7 · Jan 31, 2006

What are you guys talking about that will buff out! :bellyroll:

Seriously though glad that driver is ok.

In all seriousness, assuming they don't actually impact anything and people are wearing their seatbelts, rollovers generally cause minimal injuries. In this case, he didn't actually hit anything, just rolled the car over. If he had continued into the building or hit a tree while rolling, that might've been a different story.

Wow... what a mess... glad to hear that the driver and any passengers were alright. That looks like it's in the US... and the GTI has only been out in the US for what, two weeks at the most now? That means it's most probably a completely brand new car, just outta the showroom... very harsh :frown:
I feel sorry for the dude.

He was just lucky he was driving a Golf.

These photos were from the website shown on each pic, and I'd kept them since just before I got my car in May 2005. I was kinda worried that it may be my car on it's pre-delivery inspection! :laugh:

I think it happened in Europe, possibly somewhere Dutch speaking, going by the content of the website today??

Nice to know the airbags will work.

FATurbo · Feb 14, 2006

It's definitely Euro spec. Look at the rear plate recess in the 2nd pic.

IML337 · Feb 15, 2006

Those pics are minimum 6 months old...

During the Australian GTI launch, an Aussie journo rolled a Reflex Silver, virtually crushing the passenger side A pillar... There's pics floating around somewhere on the Australian Vortex forum.

Well, holy shit~! (pardon my french)

now you all know what your car will look like after an accident of that sort.

At least the airbags worked
