It wasnt knocking the modus Ross :D

did you see 5th gear ross, the little modus smashed its way through a 940 volvo in a 40mph head on collision (closing speed of 80mph).

Really made you think about the strength of the wee motors nowadays.

Whats the modus being replaced with :wink:

You facking know :roll:

Not sure I've ever been so unexcited about collecting a new motor :roll: :roll: :?



Don't watch 5th Gear ever - isn't it meant to be a load of old bollocks?

So on that basis I apologise for jumping to yet another wrong conclusion :lol:

watched it by accident last night, and resisted the urge to turn over despite VBH's best attempts to make a good car review seem like an impossibility!

I thought the chap in the SLR was entertaining, driving aling creaming himself, and the Tiff v. Plato C4s v R8 was really good TV :)

Not entirely surprised by the outcome of the 740/940 whatever it was v. Modus .. would be a shame if car safety hadn't come along that far in 17 years! Poor Tom though... wonder how that will affect the residuals of his fleet of Volvos :wink:

The 5 star safety was the main reason my missus chose the Modus - over a Honda Jazz :roll:

Downside of this is the really thick windscreen A pillars which create monster blind spots when approach roundabouts etc :?

Seems a trend for all cars... just as well they have better crash protection if you're more likely to have an accident IYSWIM.
