I'm amazed he did not knock the tracking out or wipe out the radiator!

Lol the bit at the end when the guy gets out and just closes the door fine

btw that white car, the Nissan Micra K10, its now got cult classic status so that was quite an expensive car to decide to wreck lol.

I don't think roll cages are standard are they ?, a shame I could do with one as the uk roads seem to have a increasing number of knobheads on them.

I wonder how well it would have done on the first crashes if a ramp hadn't been placed to lift the impact area above the bumper of the hit car.

Don't be to hard on the old micra, my wife bought one new in 1987, did 247000 miles in it over 14 years and only ever had routine servicing done to it. I reckon she still might have it if some speeding idot hadn't crashed into the back of it.

Kind of puts my V40 to shame.
