Did you see that on the news crash testing the far eastern pickups. Bloke said they might recall them all (Nissan variety). Did'nt mention owt about series landies, so they must be safe. :-) Martin Don't reckon i know any series landys that would survive a 40 mph headon with a concrete wall.......the irony of it is that most would end up recycled as crash barriers....on the other hand, (or leg) if you are a short arse, then the front wheel being where it was wouldnt be a prob, likewise with chibbing the dashboard before the airbag goes off over the back of your head.....

Ho yuss, but you need a fair bit of time to wind 'em up.

I don't reckon I'd survive hitting the inside of a series at 40 mph. :-) It looked to me like the airbag would have been better mounted a bit lower down, that's all.

If they rejected those they might be looking hard for something to drive. > Did you see that on the news crash testing the far eastern pickups.

Then there's the comments, the usual lentil-munchers going on about penises.
