The windshield did crack when he was hit. He probably has a concussion from the hit, but it'll show in a day or two. Ouch.

Though I gotta admit I was hit like that by a Chevy van when I was 9. Was sent rolling in front of the truck as the driver hit the break. I ended up half under the truck with a boot 5 feet behind the truck and simply got up, sad thatmy coat got scratched, lol.
I always thought that what saved me was me changing direction just as the truck was to hit. Had I tried to escape it by keeping my direction, it would have hit me sideways and I would surely have been sent flying, broken in pieces.

I wrecked a muscle car at 90 mph, end over end twice, rolled five times, landed upside down.

No seatbelt, crawled out, walked away.

If you want my subjective opinion, I was 'spared'.

Lager is a drink for southern hemisphere fairies, that wouldn't last five minutes in Fore Street on a Friday Night.

Hence why a US brand lager is the most popular beer in Britain, makes sense
Anyway, enough of the pissing contest, rugby is not soccer, we are grateful you brought it to our shores.

Tell me your secret! I hit a gaurdrail going 85 mph, no flips or rolls, seatbelt on, and broke both my femurs and many more injuries. Had to be airlifted out of there.

Holy s**t

I want to know what kind of shop he was going to? He gets up and goes straight for it

I'm sure i read it was a pub. Funny thing is, if he was coming from the pub he probably wouldn't have spilt his pint.

I actually like Fosters - with a lemonade top on a hot summers day. I expect some stick for this.....

No secrets here. Someone else in my car was ejected and died.

what were you driving? he said muscle car, i take it he saying a 60's or 70's model. back then you could run over pines trees and keep on going. or roll them and pound the dents out and and drive it the next day.

crumple zones and seat belts may safe lives, but i can tell you stories from my teen and young adult years about people walking away in real steel cars that you wouldn't believe.

Nope plenty of people like what we call a shandy
Nothing wrong with cutting the alcohol content either

Fosters isn't that bad, just not lots of flavour

So long as it's ice cold, it's all good imo. I do like my "Ice Cold in Alex" moments.
