Thanks again to everyone for the kind comments. Yes, we are returning to what passes for normal in the rennie household now, but an experience we wont forget in a hurry. As for insurance, well, we will see. We havent suffered any tangible loss, so i think there will be nothing to come from there. Just glad to all be ok, thats enough for me.

One thing I would say is that without seatbelts the outcome would have been very different. I know they are not always required in some foreign countries, but this proves the point, its worth wearing them Smiley

Good god its looks like a plain tried to land on top of the car  Huh

Yeah!  As far as I can make out we hit a road sign (the front bumper was stoved in on the passenger side) - I think it either pivoted or bent and came down on the roof. That gives you an indication of the speed we must have been doing. I was waking ang going back to sleep, and the speedo was usually showing about 120Kmph - but I can't think we were going that fast when we hit the central kerb or we would have taken off into the air or flipped.
