To be honest.looking at those trees I would say that they are a little bit small to total a car like that.I would have expected to see the tree on its side?

Seeing the way that has split along the seams, I would be asking the question whether the robot welder had its settings correct when it was built. To me, it looks like its split without too much damage to surrounding panels

[/quote]Yeah I know what your saying but those trees are quite young trees and very small in diameter.You would expect something to have happened to the tree?even a bit of bark missing.I hit a tree once in a racing kart (sideways) and i tore a big piece of bark off (and all the skin on my hip). [/quote]
Its a good point, not even a nick in the bark, seems a bit odd!
Must of some how hit a weak point on the car. Geezer was v lucky to get out of that alive!

I reckon he probably hit a tree further down the road and thats where the car finished up. I mean to do that amount of damage speed would have lots and i dont think it would end up just a few yards away from that 'nature bollard' Probably catapulted a fair way from original impact

that sounds like the more likely reason why this audi has ended up in 2.
thats scared me off audis now

Testing the future
nothing really, just a slight change of personality and memory loss from frontal lobe impact on the inside of the skull
no big deal, most people will give themselves worse brain damage every friday night in the boozer
