I had an accident on tuesday where we hit some mud on the road and lost control resulting in the car rolling, just a reminder as to how dangerous the roads are at the moment, even at low speeds, i was only going 45-50mph.

Ouch looks nasty! Did you suffer any injuries?
Are you gonna get another polo or is it too early to say?

Too bad to hear that mate. Here in Greece we say that every bad thing happens because e very good is coming. Don't worry, by the time you are ok, everything else passes easily.

Crikey tdi-polo , hope you are all ok. Such a easy thing to happen at this time of year, with all the muck on the roads.

Just glad you're ok, cars can be replaced easily enough. I took a VRs out for a test drive, they pull really well

Gutted for you mate, still at least you walked away from it.
As Dino said, the car held up pretty well, good old German build quality (although it's probably built somewhere else
)

Looks to me like you clipped the side of the road and it spun you round, but how did you overturn the vehicle?
More details please
