What happens when a Blue (not beige) Rover hits a 40 ton truck head on at 90 KM/H Both driver and pasenger were uninjured apart from very minor
airbag and seat belt injuries.
Apparently the truck was also written off -- front axle was moved back a considerable distance and chassis cracked.
Score Rover 3 : Truck 1

Ah, that's alright then. Beige Rovers don't go fast enough to cause any real damage. Body bag not required.
A retired bank manager down the street down the road has a 12 year old beige 820 Vitesse Turbo Sport -- thats the one they made with a 190 bhp
err "quite nippy".

Sorry mate but I dont buy this.
90 Kmh head on and the front rims are not even deformed?
Must be a hell of a crumple zone in those 30" front of the wheels
If the truck was driving 85 Kmh in reverse when the collision happened....maby,just maby

The Landwind skirts round the NCAP and crash requirements because it's over 2.5 tonnes and is classified a truck (in the lorry sense). It is on
sale in Europe, I'm not aware it is in the UK yet - the Chinese may not want to make the investment in the tooling to produce a RHD car, which
even taking into account Australasia, Japan and S.Africa, only accounts for circa 20% of total sales.
