I was on a salvage auction website, and noticed this poor g40. I just hope the driver got out alive. Really hits home that you have to be careful! I have a 92 GT polo coupe, but one day i will have a g40. But it seems all are bent or have been bent

H or M plate grey one. Looks like a nasty loss of control that!

i think the reality is any car hit in that position is pretty much doomed...even some of the newest cars. side impact safety is still something a lot of cars lack. i think the next decade or so will see a big leap in side impact safety think how far they have improved over the last decade untill now.

One around a tree is worth two in a bush!!

Ok... What about general safety of the G40s not only side impact. As a result.

Best bet is just try not to hit anyone or anything & you will never need to know

Alexiskayak_7 · April 27, 2008, 11:48:39 PM

Haha... Sure not...

what salvage site is that on

Alexiskayak_7 · April 29, 2008, 05:08:53 PM

It's a chance for parts car... Look at the engine bay.... You can use everything from in there...

Alex · April 30, 2008, 12:54:56 AM

I don't think I'd want anything off that car. It'd be weird.

hmm the parts might be cursed!
