It looked as though they had all rolled over, and all in nearly the same fashion.

The damage was more on one side or the other, and I can't for the life of me remember whether that damage was on the right or the left, but given the reflexive tendency to steer right in emergency situations and the fact that they were facing north and I was driving north, I would guess the bulk of the damage was on the left side (west in this case) of the vehicles because that is where it would have had to be to make the strongest impression on me (a view from the other side would have showed a broken windshield and some frontal damage, but nothing close to the full extent of the damage).

I wouldn't have one. First it's british, second it's tippy, and third it won't fit in a lot of parking garages.

Still, that three door concept they're showing IS tempting...
I'm a snob. I would not buy a new Rover, as I like OLD CLASSIC 109's and they are stable secure and heavy.
As for MB's I have a 83 Diesel wagon that is still going strong with over 300K on it.The wagon just keeps on going almost like an old American car from the 60's.
The 67' 109 well he is wicked tempermental and I never take him off island preferring him to stay in his habitat. ; )
