I really feel for the owner of this crashed n/a advertised on Gumtree .

I think it's had it, but he's keeping optimistic.

Think it might be worse than 'bonnet, bumper and radiator'. Hope it isn't but... as they say 'another one bites the dust'.

That's .

I think somebody has to really want that car in order to save it. You'd have to literally live next door to make it worth your time having a look. Which is a shame as it might look worse than it is. But from that picture it looks like cross beam and inner wings will have moved.

It'll end of getting crushed.

That's got to be 100mm shorter then the standard length

This is a great example showing why Chris Bangle's design was so special for its day, the bonnet folds in the case of an accident and doesn't go back hitting the windscreen/A-pillars injuring or decapitating occupants of the vehicle

so we can all drive faster without the worry of harming ourselves

..... but keeping in mind the legal speed limit and stopping distances which clearly this owner ignored

Yes, all the pics of front-bashed coops that have surfaced over the years have demonstrated that it's a pretty safe car to be in.

There was one horrific incident involving a forum member from the southwest a couple of years ago where their coop ended upside down but the driver still emerged (some jolts and strains excluded) basically sound.

I'm looking for a set of standard, black 20vt wheels and keep looking at this ad trying to convince myself that it's got the thin spoke turbo wheels and not the standard 20V NA ones.

Defiantly 20v non turbo wheels on

Time for a Bus pass me thinks.
