What did you hit - or what hit you?
Long story short, I hit a kerb and the front anti roll bar sheared, the wheel swung backward through the wheelarch, the car straddled the kerbline and smashed into a concrete lamp column, this removed the nearside front quarter, spun the car through 180 degrees...
...I think that the comment about the lack of damage to me was because the shell had absorbed all the collision energy by breaking up (ie shearing out the wing). The nearside door was laid on the verge at the side of the lamp column with hardly any damage to it.

Thanks. I had to ask, since that's the most extensive crash damage I've seen sustained by a Midas.
