freaky, but shows european engineering

you'd want the section of the car containing the fuel cell / tank to separate at such a high speed when ya think about it. admittedly itd suck hardcore for any passengers, but it would have anyways

There is no way you'd want a car to separate like that! :) The cabin of any car should remain one complete cell to protect the occupants of the car. You're thinking too much Hollywood crap about cars exploding on impact.

That Audi is clearly poorly engineered. There is no "twist" in the sections remaining showing the stress of the impact. Windows are still intact. It just came apart. That is no safety feature. Look at where the car finished up. If it was 200kph, it would be far messier than that and further away. That looks like a simple 50mph bingle in a shit car! :(

Thats one tough as tree.. I agree with Ruby, theres no way he would have hit that doing 200km/h for that tree to still be standing. He's hit the tree side on and it has ripped the car in 2.

Lucky for him he hit that tree and not another car with a family or such in it.

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
