G40 BENDER/

:scyth:  :scyth: [attachment=33] [attachment=32] :scyth:
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.

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

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