Same test, different camera angle, starts at 3 mins 20 secs.

The Pole mightn't be too happy with you either. And you'd get blood all over the car wash bay...

Must admit I was a bit shocked myself, wouldn't take much for someone to spin sideways and hit a tree or something at 60 mph.

For the sake of clarity, if it was a serious question...

Every single Vauxhall and Opel Omega, Cadillac Catera, and Chevrolet Omega (for Arabia/Aisa/Nz) was built at the General Motors owned Opel factory in Russelheim, Germany.

It's about 10 miles southwest of Frankfurt, if you want to Google it... :y

Vauxhall is the UK only brand of General Motors Europe, aka Opel.

It wasn't a serious question. I doubt any Vauxhall owner wouldn't know the Vauxhall / Opel link. Even my wife does!
