I'm starting to worry we need a preNMRA assembly to get everything set up. Back to the free space question :( Calum PS-I fixed my TGV, I think it'll smooth over bumps better now. (19 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The theory behind it is the smart is rigid and uses the other car's crumple zone. That's why when it was tested against a car 3 times as heavy, it just blew a hole right threw it. The other car (a huge Mercedes sedan) had massive damage and (...) (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Apparently Americans don't like hatch backs, so I wouldn't expect a hatch to appear in North America any time soon. I assume that's why the SiR was being build in the UK. Iain you should get a Ridgeline, that's more your style. :-) Derek (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
