C280 Vs Citroen Saxo

I just found these photos from about 4 or 5 years ago. I was driving through some (not very good!) area and stopped to get a drink from the shops. When I came back I found that someone had decided to park their car under mine. You can see the speed he must have been going at by the mark on the ground.

I sold the car a few years ago but felt reassured when I was able to simply drive away with a scratched bumper whilst the other guy's car was written off!

It looks like he hit a brick wall.

cosmetically, that C-Klasse looks ok. I'd be amazed if underneath there was no damage.
