Default Smashed my Scooby today

Had a bump with a Vauxhall Signum this morning,my bumper disintigrated,broke the headlight and bent the wing in but the Signum only had slight damage to the bumper.
Not very impressed with the strenght of the bodywork.

Hes got a car designed 10 years after yours, the advancements of safety zones and crumple zones have come along way since then, dont expect a classic to be anywhere near as tough as a modern car, because basically they aint.

Better still, don't bump into anything. It works for me.
