Daily Mail today, man plunges 250ft and survives with only scratches, he's in a RANGE ROVER.

He wasn't actually in the RR when he went over the edge and dropped 250ft though. It is believed the RR got smashed up when it went through security barriers maent to stop vehicle access.

"Nothing stops RR access" should be the headline.  Ash

Am I missing something, he crashed his car at the top of the cliff, got out, made his way to the edge and fell / jumped off  
Gone - Range Rover Supercharged 2006

Seems to be about right as far as the report goes. Maybe he was dazed in the incident..! I'm sure more will become clear once the rozzers have that chat with him.  Ash

Looking at the car, it hasn't just accidentally gone through the barriers, it's hit them at speed. I was initially assuming it was a suicide attempt (why else would you not care what happened to you car) and the guy got it wrong and ended up on a ledge, then found he didn't want to die after all. This seemed like the logical explanation except, if this was the case, would have expected him to have carried on driving off the cliff after crashing the barriers. We'll have to wait and see the real cause I guess. Steve

my god that is such a waste of a lovely range ...and may i add in the best colour........i wonder if hell sell me his rear lights ......oh yeah erm im glad his ok and all that

As I read it he went through the barrier and then 250ft to the ledge,even so the RR looks in good condition, I would still rather be in a RR than enything else in that situation

Police and lifeguards were called after the man's badly battered-up £80,000 Range Rover was found at the clifftop.

Who on Earth allows this kind of language to be used in a newspaper?!?! "badly battered-up" FFS!!!!!
