Default Re: Fords on Fire

This is a story from the 'Unique Cars' trade mag. Thought you all might enjoy a unbiased real horror story.
Bloke driving a Land Rover 3 V8 through the night in the country. Hit a kangaroo which the bull bar took the brunt of the hit and the roo was flung out the way. Here's where it gets interesting. Sensing a collision, both front airbags were deployed, turning the interior lights on, filling the cabin with smoke & fine dust and therefore blinding the driver from seeing, then the crash system shut down the motor, compromising the power steering & brakes. All of this whilst doing 90km/h on a bend. Luckily, the driver had a lot of rally experience and kept his cool, holding the cars line untill it stopped.
I wonder how mr cardigan or whatever his name is would have fared in his faithful huynudai?
