Really interested in this as I'm completely baffled as to what's happened!

You need a car with some proper, conclusive faults. ;) Like practically every chassis member forward of the bulkhead bent. Crikey, one of the front shock absorber mounts has bent a bulge in a 6" length of 1" square section steel tube, it must have bottomed out so hard..

Nosecone collected enough soil to grow a few tomato plants, I reckon.

Miraculously, damage appears to be limited to the chassis and not much more. I reckon the nosecone is even repairable. Have sourced some wishbones and a steering rack 2nd hand. Will be replacing the front shocks in the light of the loads they have clearly experienced, I think.

I'm becoming quite surprised that the biomechanical seat-to-steering-wheel interface wasn't damaged, or at least a little more shaken up. :o

cant help think, from the damage, that the wheel took most of the wollop, perhaps?

if you fancy some help at any point just shout. Or even just a curry. ;) oh and that kingfisher, wow.

What about the membrane material between the seat and the organic matter sat in it?  Enough mud in that for tomatos?

In that department the ABS system appears to have functioned (not even the slightest skid). :-X

Am I missing something here?
I want to know about the gripping saga with TB's car, can we forget the commercial break and get back to the action. :)
