Actually, I was surprised how little damage it did. Yes, the rear seat occupants would have been worse for wear (!), but I was expecting the people carrier to crumple a lot more than that. With all their build up to it, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected.

The only good thing about the programme (apart from VBH  :drool:) was the Bowler noise (also  :drool:).

Disco Matt:
I was also surprised by that. I was expecting everything behind the rear wheels to disappear on impact.

What I would like to see is a repeat of the test but with a couple of extra vehicles in front of the Zafira, as I suspect the damage was reduced due to it being punted along. In a real motorway situation it would have hit the vehicles in front and would have suffered a lot more damage. Compare punching a cardboard box resting on a table to punching one resting against a wall.

Disco-Ron:
yeh, i reckon in a real world situation, that zafira would have ended up about 3 ft long, and everyone would have died.....!!!

barnhill4x4:
The nemesis location was indeed walters arena, it was before WRGB it was the wednesday before. Joe actually broke the wishbone on the car!
