Talking about cars

Dad has been busy writing about cars in his family on his blog page. Whilst looking through some old photos recently I found this one. It was my second car. I had my brother Simon in the car with me driving from Melbourne to Canberra when I fell asleep and hit a tree. The car was a write off and Simon and I were both knocked around a bit, but lived to tell the story. Simon broke his arm I think and I had some concussion. The amazing thing was that Simon had his feet up on the seat leaning against the door at the time of impact. The floor section where his legs would normally have been was totally crushed in.

Come to think of it Simon is the only person who has sustained injuries as result of being a passenger whilst I was driving.

And yes, that is Ben in front of the car.
