The Galant is a excellent example, it clipped a bank on the inside of the corner, the car flipped onto its side & slid roof 1st into a tree, the 2 occupants got out (unhurt) pushed the car back onto its wheels, changed a flat tyre & drove it away.

The car was also repaired & is still out there somewhere rallying.

Reminds me of another one.

Many years ago we turned up for a bit of a bash around at a track day. One of the guys pulled out a set of flame proof averalls and got a bit of a ribbing about taking things too seriously. As he said "I would hate to be traped in a car on fire and my suite was neatly packed away at home". Fire burns just as hot weather you are racing or just having a bit of a bash around.
