That car looks like a Metro!!

Its a Dacia or Renault (depending on where you're currently avoiding it!) Oh well, it should keep the panel beaters in a job!

"......... A Renault UK spokesman dismissed the findings, saying: "This was a one-off. The car had already passed the ADAC test twice, but on the third run it got a puncture and the wrong tyre was fitted."


What exactly is the 'right' tyre?

Must have mixed radials and crossply tyres on the same axle. My Austin 1300 was always rolling over when I did this.

With a name like that and ugly looks it deserves to be rolled and never righted.

Doesnt the guy driving it look very calm and poised. I think I'd have my eye's shut and be screaming!!

Probably the same guy who rolled the Merc A Class a few years back!! He is probably used to it by now.
