Driving in Germany

Advantages of driving in Germany:
1) Overall, the cars are in much better condition because of tough inspections
2) Licenses are much harder to get, with better driving training
3) The autobahn speed limit is "whatever's safe" up to 155 mph

Disadvantages of driving in Germany:
1) When you fly off the road at 120+ mph, you find out why Oak was
used as armor on ships.

I believe it used to be a Ford Escort..

Go to google and type 'escort' and click images, or for a view like this, try 'escort rear' and see what ya find.. There's heaps of images, so best to do it at work where there's a faster connection than home.. Then save your favs and email them home for closer inspection

Crikey! Erm... it doesn't look like the driver has been removed from the wreckage yet. Kinda makes me wonder if it isn't a staged crash to demonstrate to the rather large crowd the dangers of trees.

Trees are deadly. Where's me chainsaw!
