Euroncap

What a great site, I just found the Euroncap site -

Have a look at the tests, the videos are brilliant and really brings it home on what can happen in a big crash. They now have pole tests which is pretty horific for head injuries. I was looking at the Ford Focus and noticed that the airbags were powerful enough to break the windscreen.

The car lives on - RJ57EJE, but be careful

Just in case you end up buying a used Volvo XC70, just check the registration isn't RJ57EJE.

This is my old car which was swamped in flood water and became a CAT D write off.

It looks like it is now being recycled through the Volvo dealerships.. it's for sale at £23,000.. so I don't know how it was repaired since the cost was estimated at £16-17000 plus VAT..
