..This is easily done...and you don't even feel the car being crushed...I know..I've done it.! ;)
(note:-..it is an older Mini that gets crushed.!)

..I didn't reverse into anything.! ..I was making a left turn ...and a (woman driver.!) tried to pass me as I turned (the bus having a 11 ft overhang ... she didn't make it passed.!! ..her car (daewoo.!!) ...had both of it's door on one side completely crushed in ... only a few scratches on the bus.!! (..I had a full load of passengers at the time ..making the weight around 15 tons.!...the same as a Double decker.!) ..it wasn't in a double decker...but a New Scania Omnicity single decker (..I believe among the longest single deck buses used in the UK ..apart from the bendies.!!)
Here's a pic of one (..and the company I worked for ..up until december last year.!)

I've seen this a few times, & wondered if it was a mock-up or not.

It looks a little crude, doesn't it? I would guess that it's an engine-less wreck that has been roughly made up to look like the original. Bus bodies aren't strong enough to crush a mini engine and suspension that completely without showing some effect, surely?

Isn't it unusual for London buses to have Essex registrations?

Ah, I remember now. They aren't London buses, are they?

It looks like the bus on the left has had a thick steel plate added to the side where the mini is crushed into. Obviously the buses were still in use and they had to minimize damage to them!
