[W126 Coupe] crashed 126

[Maryann Doucette]

Fifth Gear is broadcast in the US on Speed Channel.  I saw that episode as well -- the law of gross tonnage in action.

"Also talking about crashed W126's, on the UKTV channel on "FOXTEL" (Australian satellite TV for our overseas readers) the was a program called 5th Gear last week.  It showed a mock freeway crash caused due to fog and motorists who don't slow down.  One of the crashes was a W126 running into the back of a stationary fiat Pinto.  The Pinto was crushed to the extent that the front and rear wheels were touching each other and on the W126 the front doors still opened fine.  The programs on all the FOXTEL channels tend to repeat themselves so no doubt this episode will be on again soon.  It was worth watching."
