Hi,

I don't know any other details
think the speedo reading says it all...........
cheers

Ouch, good to see the ROPS worked. If they were in a standard Troopy they'd be dead.

They should have attended an accredited 4wd training course

I got these pics emailed to me during the week, I'm not sure of the outcome though.

those troopies don't go that fast do they ? or is it the v8 model ?

You can just see under the rear window when it's on the tray a V8 Turbo sticker.  Cant say I'd want to be doing that speed in one of those

They will do that speed and a lot more if you push them, I have known them to push over 200

It'll buff out.

I call fake on the instrument cluster photo.

I've heard of mechancial speedos jamming at the approximate speed, but every single gauge in an electronic dash?

Then again the digital odometer is not on, so is it a built in crash feature for post crash investigations?

Plus I would have expected more damage at 160km/h or the car to be further away...

I watched a car crash investigation show on Foxtel and they talked about this. If the g-force of the accident is high enough it will freeze the gauges.

If it's on TV or the Internet it must be true

I read it in 4WD Camper Trailer Touring so it must be true

Interesting to note an absence of skid marks in the last photo too 

Possible combination of speed and other "performance enhancing substances" perhaps???
