Clio driver survives cliff plunge!

[Chris1.4RT]

Not sure if any other northeasties have posted this, I only got wind of it through my sister handing me her papers to recycle:

Last Tuesday, at 7am, a South Shields woman, 29, survived a 50 ft plunge over a clifftop in her Renault Clio. Looks like attempted suicide judging by where it was (the cliff is across a fair stretch of grass off the main road). The follow up story reports she is in a stable condition but has head injuries including a deep cut.

I managed to find on the internet the story, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/05/05/nsuic05.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/05/05/ixhome.htmlhere.

Blimey! I hated the auto door locking on my after market alarm on my old Clio too, should have kept it working. Havent got it on the Saxo too, still nobody would do that for a Saxo

How can a van keep up with a 172 Clio?

 

[Jones]

cos its slower than the cup version of that van . I dont need raid i have a disklock

 

[phil6180]

I have a motion sensative automatic machine gun that pops out of the bonnet at the touch of a button along with missiles behind the headlights and lazers in the alloy wheels

Thats what the car dealer told me anyway.
