Take a look at this horrific crash! Unfortunately it took the lives of four people  :sad1:

One serious impact though.......

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I joined last year and not seen this before so glad it was re-posted :happy2:

A speed of 60mph is mentioned in the thread. Are they having a laugh? Can that happen to a car at 60mph?

They think it translates to 60mph but someone else on that forum says it was estimated to be more like 88mph. Make me feel sick looking at that, that sort of image sticks in my mind  :sick:

Yes that can happen to a car at 60mph ... especially versus things that don't move like trees ... it does depend to some degree on exactly how you hit something though .... if you know what I mean - angle, etc
