Did you see that on the news crash testing the far eastern pickups. Bloke said they might recall them all (Nissan variety). Did'nt mention owt about series landies, so they must be safe. :-)

Don't reckon i know any series landys that would survive a 40 mph headon with a concrete wall.......the irony of it is that most would end up recycled as crash barriers....on the other hand, (or leg) if you are a short arse, then the front wheel being where it was wouldnt be a prob, likewise with chibbing the dashboard before the airbag goes off over the back of your head.....

Could you get 'em up to 40mph?
I was joking of course! I don't reckon I'd survive hitting the inside of a series at 40 mph. :-)
It looked to me like the airbag would have been better mounted a bit lower down, that's all.
Martin
Ho yuss, but you need a fair bit of time to wind 'em up.

I had read that Range Rovers at least, were the only car thought to be safer in a crash than a Volvo. If they rejected those they might be looking hard for something to drive.
Well, it's just as well they're not much good in crashes, because according to the BBC, they're all driven by men with mid-life crises and small willies!
