My brother is an Audi fan and is always extolling their virtues to me, however after he sent me these pics I think I would rather stick with my RRS or Defender thank you

I remember that.... it hit a tree head on at stupid speeds if I remember. ANY car would have been ripped to shreds in the same incident. The guy walked out of it though, but only because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt so was thrown free, if I remember. |

Going back to the pics, if you look at the 3rd photo it would appear that the car didn't hit the tree "head on". It looks like the nearside corner of the front bumper took the initial impact, the driver would not have been so lucky had he hit the tree head on. Isn't this proof that the new NCAP offset tests are achieving something - the tree appears not to have suffered any damage so GP will be happy! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

If he was driving as fast as suggested then I'm sure that anybody in the passenger seat would already have been scared witless and had their eyes closed out of shear terror of going that fast on a public road........... they wouldn't have known what the car hit! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
