I hope if someone who has read this thread and who has not already had this happen to them, will now be a little better prepared for it and maybe, just maybe be a little safer for it.

I went to go through my local ford not so long back and was stopped by a line of traffic. Turns out some "losers" had hit the ford at 40 + and not got very far... crappy cameraphone picture below.



What isn't in the picture is how the Saxo's front was caved in and the Freelander driver was trying to pull them out with the rope precariously hooked around the engine. cuz the front of the Saxo was in such a state.

Somebody watching asked me to push them out using the front of my car - to which i replied off

Got bored watching this "Ealing comedy" after 5 minutes, raised the suspension and ploughed through, slowly, with no water on the windscreen

Altogether now.....

There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

I was singing the Willie Nelson bit ..ok
