Oh dear, I bet that's put her off lessons!

Apparently not according to the article lol

Just imagine the conversation with the examiner come test time lol

Examiner: "So how d'you find the car? Like it?"
Student: "Yeah, they roll really well!!"
Examiner: "Aye, not bad, move quite nicely really!"
Student: "No, literally...landed one on the roof not so long back!"
Examiner: *Oh Poo*

The pupil blamed the fact that this was an older car which didn't have the new rear suspension as fitted to Ford Ka's and 500 Abarth's

Well.... that would be my excuse

Joking aside it's good that no one was hurt, that the car stood up well and that beind upside down seemingly didn't stop doors being opened etc etc though to be honest it seems a fairly smallish impact so if the doors didn't open it'd be a poor show!

On the bright side checking the tyre pressures can now be done without aggravating back problems

What interiors do the BSM cars have?

 

[Noddy]

The instructer pointed out his error in telling her that she needed to "turn it over" before they could start the lesson.

What interiors do the BSM cars have?

Adreneline coloured ones?

 

[SeanW]

Did the 500 come with the option of a brown interior? Or is that an aftermarket thing?

I think the girl wanted to learn all possible ways to drive the car.

i don't get how it happened, it must take significant force to roll a car, what was the instructor doing, just needed to apply brakes....

or has the 500 got a silly high C.O.G.? which considering it's taller than it is wide is a possibility.
