a massive crash a few months back, rolled it twice in a ditch then upside down, i walked away, speed was about 55.
the car was fine into the corner and fine all the way through it but coming out it span so fast i only had time to try and hit the power but at 90 bhp nothing happened, it went in backwards but started to roll just before the ditch.
i braced by pushing hard with my arms on the wheel and ducked near the gear stick, if i had't i may of not walked away because the roof had caved in.
i could only get out the back door by kicking my way out.
the police, firemen and ambulance was there but they was more shocked than me, they arksed how did i walk away.
i come from a biking background so i,m used to crashing but nothing like this, i was more concerned about 3 grands worth of camera gear but that was ok.
i hit a tree branch 3 corners before the crash and i wonder if the branch damaged the rear wheel because it hit the rear end hard, i got 0 warning of it about to go.

OMG!!...You sure are lucky to walk away after a crash like this,but I must agree with you that 206 is a tough car,and I love it :D,glad you are safe,you better fix the rear end of your current car so that nothing like this happen to you again.

Saw one on it's roof on the M4 about two years ago .. that had rolled after hitting centre armco ... and both doors were open!
If you read up on fitting sunroofs to 206's there is a reference to roof reinforcing bar ... so that's why they are mainly factory fit.
