chrishill 0 Posted July 19, 2005 I thought that stright away kev, i cant see them using something that horrific in a public display, its probably been done to show people the dangers of owning a micra. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 19, 2005 The fact the car was cut in half at some point (by the fire brigade) and the bike in comparison is remarkably unscathed give it away....and what is that bit of metal hanging out of the back window? Doesn't look right either.... Seems to be numerous fakes going around at the moment.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blair 0 Posted July 19, 2005 I suspect that even if it's real they'd have had to cut the car in half to get the body/bodies of the car occupants out, given how tightly that bike is wedged in. Don't think they'd be allowed to display it without a thorough cleaning! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a MK3 Golf! Bike don't look too good in this one though: But think you are right, seems a bit staged..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted July 19, 2005 would the airbag go off in an impact like that? It's a MK3 Golf! :shock: blimey! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

randal 0 Posted July 19, 2005 Wasn't that an entry for the Turner Prize? Certainly looks on par with some of the mangled sh1te that wins that god-for-saken prize of arse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 19, 2005 deffo not convinced... where's the passenger door gone?!? That bike would have had to be doing one hell of a speed to be able to put the door through the frame, across the car and into the rear... especially 'cos the striker pin is still intact... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomB 0 Posted July 19, 2005 Although something similar nearly happened to me on Sunday on the way to Croft. Came round a corner to find a yellow japanese sports bike with rider in yellow leathers on my side of the road coming towards me at about 70. God bless all round disks or there would have been Power Ranger pate all over the place. I think that photo's a fake though. Cheers, Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted July 19, 2005 It's not a fake, but it is somewhat staged. The two vehicles are the genuine result of a collision and they're now used, with the permission of the victim's families, for a speed reduction/safe driving campaign by the govenment of the country it happened in. I believe it was Sweden but don't quote me on that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted July 21, 2005 thats an rc30 i think so it couldve hit the golf at about 180 if going full pelt! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaz g60 0 Posted July 21, 2005 who knows for sure but i dont know what would make the bike go in to the car rather than sliding over the top anyway whoever was on it isnt with us now i wouldnt of thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted July 22, 2005 I read about this on a biking forum and apparently its not fake. Happened in Finland or somewhere similar. It has been set up slightly worse but most of the bike did end up in the car. As you can imagine both the driver and rider were wiped out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted July 22, 2005 It's a VFR400. The rider involved had only passed his test a week or so previouly I believe. Incidentally, road RC30s made around 112bhp and weighed 185kg; they were not capable of anywhere near 180mph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
