This is SOP with vans pushed hard in corners. The long-travel suspension of
T1s and T2s is particularly prone to this. My 57 would cock a wheel even at
not-so-high speeds. Just ignore it, you're nowhere near rolling it... in
fact the tires will let go first..the only way you'll roll it is if you
slide it sideways into a curb or similar immovable tirestopping object
(say, a workman's head peering from a manhole). I never took it that far,
but met someone who did. I've only ever seen 2 Type 2s which had been
upsidedown... one was my derelict 56, which some drunken and rather
unpleasant students inverted while it was parked (minimal damage). The
other was inother old Split in a wrecking yard.
