One of the most vivid reminders of how dangerous our cars can be in an
accident came to me in 1990. That year, the MG "T" register did a
cruise around the UK with 89 T-series cars. One couple had a J2 or a TA
(quite brave indeed -- we put 2000 miles on the cars in three weeks),
and were driving in a small town when a truck carrying scrap metal going
the other way hit a bump. A large something or other fell out of the
truck and hit one of the fenders and part of the hood (sorry, bonnet) of
the pre-war car. The entire corner of the car. Missed the footwells by
inches. Now of course, our post-war cars are a bit more solid, but the
image of the crushed car remains with me to this day!
