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!

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...

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...
