Ouch!!! Nasty...

Apart from the ill feelings of looking at wrecked new BA's, it's always interesting to see how they cope with the damage, particularly inside the cabin. From all the ones I've seen so far, they all seem to come out relatively well inside, which is reassuring.

Re: Ouch poor XR8!!!

I wonder if a Boss 260 would fit between the shock towers on my 1964 Compact Fairlane???

Now that would make a nice "G260"!

Granted its a side-on shunt, but you would still expect the for/aft decelleration to have been enough to activate the driver's airbag, which looks intact?
