Roadster Rollover in Norway

From what I read the guy was thrown from the roadster. He's injured but to what extent don't know. Anyone able to read Norwegian?



Is the current owner a HAMB guy? I guess the past owner was Brian Setzer.

Wow, that's scary. Hope he pulls through.

 

Wow. Any more info? Hopefully he was thrown, 'cause if he was inside the thing, it doens't look good...

 

Wow....i sure do hope he's ok..

 

that sucks, hope hes ok and comes out of this with minor injories

 

Not a sight I ever wanted to see , as all of us feel I trust he's going to be OK

 

reading ,my dad was full blood norweg

, and at the time i didnt apreciate the fact he made us learn HIS language


any how
52 years old only guy in the car, car darted right and left got caught in a groove in the ditch and flipped he was thrown out slightly car landed on his arm, has chest injuries and will be ok, listed as steady

the first comment on the article has the guy complaing that these car are not built to any standards , so it serves him right for crashing, they are just made to go fast


grøss!

Får ikke sagt det nok: Når en kjører veteran, eller bygde biler, husk alltid at sikkerheten på disse er ikke etter dagens standard! De er ikke bygget for fart! Håper virkelig det går bra med fører

 

from what i can read , he's in intensive care and in a stabil condition

 

WOW,... thanks for the update. the only words i can read in that last paragraph from "oldchevyseller" was..."standard for fart bra"..

Here's to a speedy recovery!

I found an Norwegian Translator on-line, and this what I got...

"Driver , a 52 year aged man , arrived driving in its the warhorse at 1930. He do be about have got kontrasleng at auto after that a at hjulparene arrived beyond asfaltkanten , so that auto at last Brazil in in fjellveggen. Man became was ejecting at auto in collision. The accident happen a bit a prior bell 19.30 Friday eve. Police and ambulance pull at once out at ulykkesstedet. Man , as stayed alone in auto , became shipped in luftambulanse at The wool sick , disclose police at Evening post. Friday eve was he under intensivbehandling along with earnest bruddskader in bosom. Condition his am steady , according to NTB. No one else cars do be about have been involved in the accident , disclose police. Veteranbilen have got to taues away at Viking after utforkjøringen."

???

 

Is this Setzer's former car, or one similar?

Sure hope the driver's O.K..

Scary sight, regardless of which ever type of vehicle.

 

His former from what I understand

 

Ive never seen that car pictured with setzer, and I dont think thats him driving it in the pic...

Anyway, thats very scary, glad to hear the guy wasnt hurt too badly.

 

Very scary, I hope the guy has a full recovery.

 

Wow Its a good thing he wasnt wearing his seatbelt. Honestly if he was wearing a belt he prolly wouldnt be with us any more. Thats such a sad picture but just hope he pulls through just fine.

 

Knowing what the Norwegian roads are like, having driven them in my Fad T bucket, he's lucky to get away with so few injuries.

 

Same car with Setzer in it

car roled over not to far from where i live.

 

the above picture was taken on highway 74 at vista point when brian lived here in the desert (palm springs area) I used to work on his 46 indian motorcycle. to bad for driver and car!

 

I just had 2 Hot Rodders from Norway in the shop for a visit !!!! They translated the news report for me , as above, Small World We Live In. I thought it was snow in the ditch but it was foam from the fire dept as they smelt gas, & sprayed it.

 

Scary stuff, always wondered if it was better if I didn't wear my belt when Im driving my roadster?

Hope he comes out ok.

 

I use to see that car in Hollywood all the time before Biran bought it..he definatly owned
it at one time. Then I think it was sold on ebay if I remember...that really sucks hope the driver gets well soon without many injuries...

 

I guess Setzer did indeed own it!

 

Only on the HAMB can you get three translations from Norwegian to English in under 40 minutes!!

Sounds like a miracle he wasn't hurt worse.

 

Here is som more picture of the Roadster taken just after the accident.

 

Grille looks nice.

 

Hmm, I'll take it, I can fix that up in no time, pass the duct tape!

 

After seeing that, the aesthetic appeal of roll bars improves.

 

That car was built here in wisconsin and then bought on ebay and went to cali. The original builder was a kid that worked at a hardware store. His name is Brian Shimmery, a great guy, and a pretty cool car. sucks to have ended like that.

 

for being rolled over it really doesnt look all that bad. He must have not been moving really fast when it happened.
sad to see that , hope the guy comes thru his injuries ok. and stays with fixing it up or at least parting it out.

 

I think I will put both seat belt and roll bar in my '30s era single seater champ car, even if it isn't "historically correct".

Statistically speaking, you are better off with a seat belt than being thrown out of a 'vert.

 

I respectfully disagree. Not to beat up the same old dead horse, but...
What is more common, a head on collision, a rear ender etc.. or a driver-error caused rollover? In anything but a rollover I would rather stay in the car.
