The Opel had a unique safety feature. As soon as you stomped on the gas it would torque steer straight into the nearest hedge.

Opel Kadet - when I was in the army I worked for a private military contractor. We were based in Silverton in PTA but had a test range some place outside PTA (name escapes me). I think it was about 60km out. We had Opel Kadet Cubs that we used for the commute to the test range. Being the bored troepe that we were, various challenges arose. Fastest time from PTA to test range in 1st gear only. Fastest time from PTA to test range without using the clutch while driving - yes this is possible. Jeez I have loads of respect for those little cars considering the abuse the endured. They just kept going - never an issue.

If this is about the chopper dropping into the water, one passenger did sadly not survive. Got knocked unconscious and drowned apparently?

No. Walmansthal I think. Did a quick Google maps search. It was 30 years ago so please excuse my (lack of) memory

Reminds me of driving to a meeting with a business acquaintance some years ago who was regaling about when he was a sales rep for a company. When the usual time came to replace his co car, the co decided to extend the time required before the reps could get new cars, so no problem to my acquaintance, he drained the oil from his Corolla to speed up the process. I was horrified that anyone would do such a thing, but he was more horrified that it took a really long time before the oil-less Toyota motor took to die.....

The first time me, my brother and step father drove a Kadet we went to Kroonstad and we had to push it out of every parking spot. Those Kadets didn't have a reverse gear.............until someone showed us that you had to pull that little ring on the gearlever to put it into reverse [emoji1787]. We only ever had Mercedes cars because that's all that could survive the Freestate farm roads. Edited April 16, 2021 by BSG
