"The wife of a friend was momentarily dazzled by sun as she
pulled out of a side road and ended up mounting the kerb and hitting a lamp
post in his Scimitar GTE at quite a low speed. She wasn't wearing a
seat-belt
as she was eight months pregnant and had been advised against it, and
neither
her nor the baby were injured. However the front half of the bodywork
exploded in a shower of fibre-glass fragments covering the ground for yards
around like snow."
Well, there's not much integrity in the fibreglass of a Scimitar, but by all
accounts the chassis has all the solidity (and much of the weight) of the SS
Great Britain.
If that had been a Lotus, however...
