Very sad - I did put a link to daily Mail but that and another post I wrote about colour blind glasses disappeared in the middle of last night.
Some of the comments on the news sites were not that nice saying old guy should be off the road etc.
I feel sorry for the guy, probably dreamed of owning a Morgan for decades, finally got one and then due to a stupid mistake the car is written off.
Yes the SUV was sensible leaving a nice gap, it certainly got pushed a fair bit from the force. I always leave a gap and have my foot and hand brake on hard as I can push especially after a guy was killed at a roundabout near me because of a similar situation when a car slammed into his car in front pushing it into the roundabout right in front of a bus. Glad I do as a year ago in my wife's Octavia we were waiting at some traffic lights when the same thing happened and without my foot brake on hard and hand brake on chances are we would have ended up in the traffic, I was looking forward so no idea how fast the old BMW was going but I couldn't believe how the force shook the whole car and us about inside, but we didn't get into the intersection.
I have been toying with the idea of a Morgan and other people say why not a MX5, so much cheaper and probably a lot safer. Looking at this the Morgan did pretty well
