Didn't a Datsun engined one get into the news a few years back for exceeding
100mph on the motorway?
Saw one after it had been hit at a crossroads in Colehill, Dorset. Looked
like someone had laid a rusty bedstead under a pile of woodchippings. The
thing just "EXPLODED" in a cloud of GRP particles. Wonder if the
self-destruction absorbed some of the impact, much like ablative armour on
Tanks?
