Need4Speed Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I've seen a few astonishing crashes here in France - many along the lines of "how is it possible to do that?" - but how fast was this car (whatever it was) going and guess the age of the driver.

Gaz6002 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It was an Opel Astra, and probably around five miles per hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Looks like it was a Fiat Brava to me, and 1 less of them on the planet is a good thing for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 It was an Opel Astra.... Hmmm, I thought it was a Fiat Brava. Now in limited edition mid-engined form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 My guess 80mph and driver 16? I bet he survived, no idea how I just think he did. OK perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 They are very light cars, including the engine (which if it is the 1.4 out of the Punto, you won't even notice it their). I'd say the guy hit the tree head on at 45mph, more than enough to cause this level of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Think the car was travelling at 40 and also the tree was travelling at approx the same speed giving a combined impact speed of 80, the driver wasn`t wearing a seat belt and is still awaiting rescue from the top of the tree:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
