[size=5]How fast would you have to be going, and what would you have to hit, to go from this....[/size]



[size=5]to this.......[/size]




[size=4]Found this on SBO, anyone know the story behind it??[/size]

Yeah, the guy in the purple VW hit something : )
He fair buggered it, that's for sure.

little old lady driving to church on sunday clutch stalled it in 2nd but it jumped into a morris minor

oh well, at least she has a type 3 as her spare...

bet he chipped a tooth on the steering wheel !!

I think it's just another way of turning a bug into a short wheel base, nothing too serious.

looks like he hit a brick wall! the damage is almost symetrical...

would you believe it was actually 90mph

Eric actually got pretty badly busted up in that prang thanks to a fault with his harness

you can see where he clobbered the windscreen

How fast? Ummm, very.....
Don't think it's gonna buff out this time.

EDIT: Not surprised he got banged up at 145km/h !

he definitely hit another car, have a go at the slight curve in the damage, also angle of lights and guards

yeah another car spun out and kicked up huge a cloud of dust.

Eric couldnt see where it ended up and ploughed straight into it

im just happy my damage isnt like that.

As long as he's OK, that's the main thing. Besides, it's only a stinking beetle. Who'd have one of those things......errr......hang on....ummm....nothing : )

I Assume it was the full cage that prevented it being any more squashed up like a tin can?

I would like to be that well off with no crushed cabin after smashing at 150kph, none the less, i can simpathise for this guys whip lash...

I woke up with a crook neck this morning and rekon thats bad enough as it is!

Dear Custom, please add a cage to the increasingly long list of to-do's for my car... ahh maybe one day once it actually looks like a car again

I like this test between a 2009 and 1959 chev. It is to dispell the myth that if an old car crashed into a new car it would come off better as it was built stronger and would crush the new car.

Ouch.....pity they wrecked the somewhat pristine 59 though ..................but it does prove a point!

haha, dad always tells me the story of his HQ kingswood vs. a 80's hyundia excel.... he certainly got better off than the written off excel. he only got a dint! Mind you, completely different car and it was rear ended....

I would HATE to be in that Bel Air...that dude gets completely owned!

Bloody yanks. What the hell were they thinking destroying a '59 chev like that? Who gives a crap if one is better than the other. I'm going to go have a cry now : )

The fresh prince won't be happy....
