Julian,
was he so drunk he forgot his car 8-)
the nearest I know of on this theme is that a horse collided and a
Harrington and the horse nearly came through the windshield.
Maybe it was a Harrington option for extra horsepower !!!!
Actually, joking aside, its true and the Harrington survives to this
day, I think the horse was OK too and went on to tell its foals to watch
out for mad Sunbeamers.
