I'm old ....so it would have been The Buggles....early '70's ( ha ha...not that I can remember )

WHAT ???.....WHY????.....

Seems like I'm getting old and can't do more than one thing at a time? I reversed out of a tight parking space (at work, nogal) and failed to see this concrete pillar on the side of the car. I still can't understand why they paint them the same @#$% white as the rest of the walls? And yes, I kicked it!

So... this is the result - new fender required and >R13k worth of unnecessary damage:

Oh... and the radio is still free of charge. You just have to buy the iPod and/or USB adapter yourself.

PS: If you want, I can even throw in a 12-disc CD shuttle to sweeten the deal. There are two of them gathering dust in the store room too...

Ohhhhh.... I'm like a cheap lady of the night....ahhhh ruv you rong time mista chuck....

Awesome bud thanks, I appreciate it. I will make a turn past you one of these days or we will meet again on an event !!

Maybe it can be fun. We once did this track in reverse in a Golf rally car with slick tyres in the rain and it was ADRENALIN RUSH all the way, I was the navigator.

This was at the hairpin down at the bottom of the track

Before anybody accuses me of cherry-picking results, some big names also failed this test. The Mercedes A Class caused quite a bit of consternation when it also flipped during a moose test...

[ricster]

OUCH....My Iron Maiden can't get up enough speed to get flipped on a moose test....
