The real message is that if any of us hit a small car at speed, we'd do a similar amout of damage. Be careful out there, folks.

Post by: blackbob on March 29, 2007, 17:51:30: see the bettle dont cop much damage
but then it doesent have crumple zones

as early cars and 4x4 are built without crumple zones the fair better in crashes but its not so good for the people inside them

i have been to many crashes where people have walked from total wrecks with not a scratch and there has been fatal crashes where the car looks ok and still drove onto a breakdown truck so safty has come a long way
would much prefer to be in a new 4x4 than an old one in a major crash
but still like my rangie clasic and disco than the later freelanders but if someone wants to buy me a new rr sport i wont complaine :lol: :lol:
