    Well, if it teaches me one thing, it's never get into a Focus that's attached to a cable......

    120mph into a concrete wall though?.........be better off showing 120mph into another car doing 120mph, that'd be a scary example of worst case mountain road scenario.....

    ....They could have let me have the wheels before crucifying the car, eh Ian... Seriously, It does make you think about car safety, and I agree with Nitro.

    Nitro wrote:120mph into a concrete wall though?.........be better off showing 120mph into another car doing 120mph, that'd be a scary example of worst case mountain road scenario.....


    Another thing to consider is the focus might not have even been a NCAP 5 star car, probably a 3 or 4 star at best. How bad would it be with a 5 star vehicle (Renault Scenic ? )

    Mythbusters did a car into a wall at 50, then a car into a wall at 100 and then two cars head on at 50. Check it out...
