i bounced off a parked car once. And a moving one. And a stopped tipper van. And a stopped 206. And i bounced a foolish moped rider once...
oh yeah, and backwards into a big tree.
should be seven all in though, so i've missed one somewhere.

No, it didnt did it.
I survived cos I got thrown from the car. The footwell ended up at head height - by that I mean the triangular panel between front wing and door was
at windscreen height.
