Going karting @ silverstone!
make sure you have a cusion for your back, they should hae them there, after 15 minutes of karting i was bleeding from 3 places on middle of back. stretch as well beforehand and after coz you will hurt in the morning. don't crash!! I hit a wall at 30mph sideways once and had trouble walking for a week where my legs were trapped under the steering wheel.

Nelson WTF?
hard shoulder is used by emergency services an awful lot, you just can't keep it blocked up, you should inform the police if you have broken down there anyway I think and they will arrange getting you somewhere safe.

Whats white smoke mean?
I get this to, and when i look in the exhaust I can see a lot of condensation, I assume its where I let the car sit, my back boxes are rusted a bit i think. white smoke generally = water though i think

Help needed
just saying :) sure its a compromise, personally not worth it for me insurance is around 1800 on a UK manual for me @20 TPF&F on an import it was about £4000 :) but if your older it will cost less generally.
-
Help needed
remember insurance costs a bit more than on a UK model, you do have more of a choice when you import though and get a lower milage car, id do it but the insurance is to high for me

Hypothetical Crash.....
not very high!! one of my dads mates drove past his freind who was riding a bike once, he was driving at 35mph and thought it would be a laugh to hit his freind on the head, had the effect of breaking several of his fingers and sending the biker flying off his bike.

Hypothetical Crash.....
yuh you should never store a road atlas on rear parcel shelf a 1kg weight traveling at over 15 mph hitting your head will probably kill you.

Hypothetical Crash.....
I think theirs a bit of luck involved, even if impact points are slightly different it could cause a different section of car to pass through your head. my dad was hit up the rear in a pug 106 a while ago, the car hit him at 40mph and it was enough to bend the roof into an arch! it also depends on the vehicles and if one is braking and one is accelerating as that will raise and lower the height of the vehicle I reckon putting a wedge like a 300 zx under a jeep at 120mph would be enough to cause the jeep to take off most of the roof and drivers head. seatbelts don't cause whiplash really, its ill fitted and non existant head rests and seats. if you have a headrest and get hit up the arse the insurance company probably won't pay out for whiplash.
