Slightly odd accident scene. Narrow country road yet the hit is passenger side to passenger side!Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
Looking at the crash bar the fiesta impacted in the centre of the car, maybe there is a side road not in shot and the impact is as a result of one car turning?Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Will make me feel safer now,
I thought the plastics on the front of Discovery's would have crumpled more
Shows how crap fords are nowadays, as good as a write of I'd say

I had a mass deletion of pictures, likes and "friends" on my fb today...
1st overland was one as there seems to be too much of this glorifying of crashes.
Sorry firstO but I though you were about greenlaning & offroading

Discos do very well in impacts; sadly the victims come off less well. In fact it is a sobering experience to see what a Disco can do to a normal car.
Got to see a D3 get into a winter-induced tank-slapper and then mount a MX-5 with a lady driver.
Shocking.
Our other car is an MX-5 too.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
