No numberplates ? That's strange.

Another Irish FTO bites the dust it seems. Hope nobody was hurt - the FTO doesn't boast a lot of protection. I certainly don't like driving mine in wet conditions any more and always take it easy. No airbags, no ABS etc.

I would feel a lot with ABS and Airbags that come in the facelift model. Even at that, they are far from safe, but one consolation is that they are great drivers and very stable on the road (unless you drive with bald tyres).
