Guest newl Guests Posted 14/03/07 11:02 PM Share Posted 14/03/07 11:02 PM I'm always amazed as to why vehicles in Australia tend to split in half like that.

I remember being sent some pictures of a BMW somewhere in Europe that hit a tree. Looked very similar. I just can't believe that the tree is still standing!!

Guest Guests Posted 14/03/07 11:25 PM Share Posted 14/03/07 11:25 PM that's a big hit, I was kind hoping it was an xr8 as I would have snapped it up at the auctions.

They both walked away unharmed! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33290-ute-vs-tree/page/2/#findComment-508643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
