Built Ford Tough!
Just a few pictures of how the crumple zone does work. Guy going to work on a two lane mountain road in a slight fog/wet road. Comes around a corner doing five over and there is a stalled car in his lane. He sverves to miss it and goes over the edge. All he got was a broken wrist. Look how the cockpit remained rather intact. He had 700 miles on the car. Drive safe out there!

Re: Built Ford Tough!
No, just got mine out of storage last Sat, need to go thru it, get it all cleaned up. Really waant to get a Dyno run just to see what all it's got now. Pictures sure are a good reminder just how quick these things can snap around you on slick roads. think Malcolm can tell you that even on a straight ,d dry road, you'r better not be sleeping. take care down there!
