I'm impressed what a strong cars we have
With a little bit of luck it was a kind of happy-ending.
During a 3000km trip i've hit a 20x20 piece of a truck rim. The piece was lying on a road, when a truck lifted it in an air. After that it made a contact with mine bumper, hitted a front control arm, scratched an undebody, made a hole in a rear left passenger's floor, demolished a jack support, hacked a rear left hub carrier and, after that hitted a muffler.
The XJ was still able to made a final 200km on a way home.
What a tough car.

Jags are a very safe cars. I've saw a lot of heavy damaged cars(Even aluminuim ones) without any injurys for a passengers.

Thanks so much. I've already found a used hub, new bearings (again, huh. I've already replaced them this winter), turn signal, repaired a side marker and will weld the floor and jack support later next week. While the XJ is immobilzed i'm driving mine second Jag - a 2004 3.0 S-type. Well, an XJ is much more comfortable.
