crash

Amazing how much damage the emergency services can do to a car in such a short space of time. Passengers escaped with "very minor injuries" which is not what you can say about the Mercedes. Boot lid removed, roof removed, all 4 doors and n/s b pillar removed. It's going to take a bit more than a...

for anyone who missed it-some footage of Mark Webbers spectacular crash at today's Valencia Grand Prix. Don''t know how long this will remain up but here it is. V86IC6dYtos

Make sure you have insurance! OdGzy2Lun2I Not including the air ambulance of course :eek::eek::eek: LINK (or is it total rubbish?)

Was rear eneded last night by a van that had failed to notice I had stopped in traffic, estimate of speed at impact was 40mph. I saw it coming and braced, my new E Class hardly moved forward at impact and head rest system popped out to protect my head from whipping back and seat belt tightened...

W212 Crash Test Video + All the other E's crash tests Possibly posted before but the search didnt bring up owt. Its truely amazing how strong it is, check out the full roll test at the very end of the video, it looks just like my Matchbox cars I used to flip over! - not a scratch! Qx44IefLAqA...

One man was killed and a Daimler test driver was injured in an accident on Autobahn A81 near Rottweil, Germany. In the early morning hours of the April 23 the 52-year-old Daimler employee was testing a 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class prototype SUV when he struck a 26-year-old man exiting his...

I bought a W124 E220 estate 4 weeks ago, 3 days later my neighbour reversed out of her driveway straight into the front of it as I was driving past so it spent the next 2 weeks off being repaired. I eventually got it back on Saturday and its doesn't look too bad at all, needed a new passenger...

I have my eye on another nice W124 estate that has had side impact crash damaged repaired, the seller has been upfront about it and says that it needed 2 new doors and to be pulled back into shape on one of those jig thingys. Is this something that I should just walk away from or if repaired...

Scanning through the thread where a youngster want to buy an S660L as a first car got me thinking... Did you crash a car within two years of passing your test (or getting your first car if there was a gap). I don't mind admitting I crashed a few times :o

Hi all. Main PC, a Sony all-in-one, appeared to die yesterday. Used it first thing in the morning, it went to sleep, then when I pressed the mosue/keyboard it wouldnt wake up. Tried forcing a reboot by switching it off. Tried to switch on with f11 pressed to get into the menu (bios?)...

Wind forward 1:40 unless you a real nerd interested in seating the dummy correctly. Impressed by the door release. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMNVVHI2ZNg&feature=player_embedded#

Audi R8 crash - XPowerForums - For MG, XPower & Motorsport Enthusiasts Very lucky they both survived, although the driver lost both his legs! :eek:

whoops: BBC News - Italian police crash Lamborghini supercar

Driving along A3 to work this morning near Cobham at 08.30am in outside lane doing 70mph, everyone broke slightly and this woman behind me swerves to avoid me and gets sideways in the middle lane ploughing into my passenger door sending me into the central reservation. Mercedes say £6,500 pounds...

Some dozy mare in a Mondeo used my C43 to help her stop over the weekend. Damage not too serious on the face of things but its pushed the rear panel in by about an inch and has bent one of the rear chassis legs. Bumper has mostly sprung back into shape although cracked and scuffed. Rear...

This guy had floored his car down the 30mph limit road outside work (coming from over my right shoulder as the photo is taken), a van went to pull out on him from a blind-ish (well, at over 30 anyway) side turning and all the ESP in the world couldn't save him from mounting the pavement...

Another Top Gear stunt went wrong yesterday evening after the BBC car show tried to attach a caravan to an airship carrying co-host James May and it crashed into a field near a busy road. May is uninjured. BREAKING: James May In Airship Crash Filming Top Gear Stunt - James May - Jalopnik and...

Was out looking for a new car for SWMBO today which saw us venture into Lancashire unfortunately our viewing was cut short as we got caught in a tailback on the M66 from an accident that happened just up the carriageway in front of us. A MB hit a bridge stantion flipped and skidded down the...

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have been reading here for a little while. It has left me a little confused to say the least, hence the subject of this post. I'm in the market for an estate, budget around £5k. It is to throw dogs, bikes, kids etc in the back and to complement my other car a...
