Some of you (Europeon Crew) might of seen the "BEFORE" pictures at the Mighty Mustangs Hanau meet in July, but here's more pics of it "AFTER" now.
First of all, my son Tom (and the two girls riding with him), were not hurt in any way. Second - No alcohol was involved. Third - Wasn't speeding, (I could tell because of the skid marks).
History - 3 AUG 05 - Detour road from Ansbach to Flaschlanden, 2300 uhr, loose gravel on "back road". Sweeping left turn about 80-90 kph, back end came around the right side. Car hit in a deep ditch on the left side of the road, then cartwheeled one time, coming to a rest on the side, then it tipped over onto the top for the last few feet.
Anyway, do to reasons I'd rather not talk about, the car now sits in the Ansbach (auto strip lot). 1989 Mustang LX Conv, 5.0L, Auto. Just about every piece on the car was dented, scraped, ripped-off, or damaged. The Engine and Tranny are still good.
Anyway, just thought I'd let everybody know.
At least I still have the 05 to mess with and my son now drives a 91 BMW 3-series.

I had the deep blue 70' Olds Cutlass, and a big white Chevy van at the time.
During 2002, I was the S3 NCOIC for 7-159th.
