Last night I was looking on the net to see a pic of these headrests, found a vid of the film, clicked 'Play', it downloaded a hideous unremovable trojan onto my pc, I've had to reload Windows, sigh.. Be careful out there!

My 240 hasn't got solid headrests either

A Volvo and a bmw come together at 120mph in an episode of 5th Gear. Luckily by remote control as nobody would have lived. I can't remember what model it was, but,
There is a link in a post on here somewhere to the show.

It was a 960 against a e34 5 series at 120mph , they wer tyring to test safety features of older cars . The 960s rightside chassis was pushed in snapping the A-pillar and flipped while the e34 got its engine pushed back all the way to where the driver would have been.

Lmao alarming man! I was just in the back of my car behind my solid head rests harnessing my dogs in when I noticed that the rear of my head rests are the same as the ones in the film, the solid fronts pop off leaving behind the cut out ones! I'm dead chuffed!

Yep and in top gear they flew a silver 240GLT estate over a load of caravans....
