Lol the bimmer just didnt want to die, but the astra looked like it had given up before it even started.

I swear the E30 still had a full tool kit in the boot, what a waste lol

Or maybe it's because overuse of the acronym L.O.L does actually make you look like a retard ;) The mods are just trying to do you (and us) a favour

I want one. Cracking video. Thinking about that, what is an E30 like in a crash? Looks pretty sturdy against that mangler thing.

They do take a lot compared to other cars of the same age, but they do have weak points i.e side impacts
