- Check out this web site that compares a Mini and a Ford F150 crashing into a barrier at 40 mph. http://bridger.us/2002/12/16/CrashTestingMINICooperVsFordF150/ The Mini driver fares much better than t

- well, considering that the energy in the truck impact is more than three times that oif the mini (well maybe only 2 1/2 times)... I would expect more carnage. There is a good question imbedded here .

- I do believe that the energy in an elastic collision is inversely to the total mass. a 2500 lb car hitting a 4000 truck = 6500 lbs of total mass. The small car gets 6500/2500 or 2.6 while the truck g

- I drive a 2004 Mini and don't worry about it. I drive my Tiger and don't worry about it. Reason?...I ride a 2.3 liter Triumph and don't worry about it. Life is short... Gary B9472283 ________________
