Greg I hope you and Steph are OK and recovering well.
Definitely looks like a serious hit, the main thing is that you guys actually walked away from it. Shows good car prep and a strong cage.
Get better soon mate.

Holy cow Greg, u two were very lucky there.
As Glen said, good prep + strong cage = safe driver/navigator.
Wishing you both the best in a speedy recovery and back on theroaddirt ready for another battle!!
Good luck!
All the best for a quick recovery for the both of you.
wow... it appears most of the damage was done between the driver and co-driver..
could have been much worst..
hope you guys have a speedy recovery.
Unreal that they walked away. All the best for a speedy recovery.
WOW!
good luck guys
(I was wondering why you never wrote back, Greg... you had a pretty good reason :p)
Hey guys,
Thanks for the kinds words! We're ok, I've got a chipped ankle, and was taken straight to Nambour hospital. Steph went one better and got a a double cracked pelvis and was choppered straight to Brisbane as the pain kinda suggested more than that. I was released on Sat arvo, and Steph yesterday. Car's a write off, but the photo's really do make it look worse that it was... yes it was a BIG hit, but the cars are designed for it, all 4 doors still open, and from the base of the windscreen back the car looks fine (except for the wing which departed in the impact!).
Got a couple of belt bruises, but glad I had 3" belts and not 2" or they'd be alot worse!!
I'm not in the least bit surprised we walked away with minor injuries, it's testament to the cars and the sport in general. It might've been the morphine and the pain giving me a short temper, but I was getting quite annoyed with doctors saying to me in an almost condescending tone "so have you learnt your lesson, and stay away from rally driving now?". To which I replied, "On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad are my injuries from a very high speed car accident that you've seen?" "One or two..." "Good, so driving down the highway on holiday is more dangerous than rally driving, now give me some more morphine and don't lecture me!"
I'll be back!
Cheers,
Latho
LOL
the docs are there to cure you, not lecture you :rolleyes:
