Cars in pretty good shape considering.
Check out the passenger compartment - stood up pretty well! Wonder if the chik sitting in front of the car was the driver?

I may have missed something ( crappy monitor ) but I can't see where the motor finished up in relation to the car. And I reckon KEEPLEFT will have something to sat about that armco fencing. And I can't see any Safety Triangles either ( crappy monitor again).

The Armco rail has done a pretty good job of deflecting the car. He should have his safety triangles out though to avoid a secondary collision. Where's Keepleft?
Cheers, Danny

The only advantage i can see in those cable barriers is low cost. Otherwise they're deadly if you're on 2 wheels.

It's definitely a 911 carbriolet. As for the cable barricades, I'm damn sure the won't be doing any slicing of motorcyclists, it's a damn sight thicker than piano wire. These types of things are tested before they're put into use. Sounds like a job for Mythbusters anyway.
