I’d hazard a guess at it not being strong enough to make cars from. An alloy which can be bent so easily probably isn’t suited to housing a one tonne car travelling at 70mph…

They use stuff like this in braces. If the wire in the braces bends, it goes back to shape under hot water. Must have something to do with how the braces work :)

I work in an opticians, this stuff is awesome.

Once when I was showing a customer the memory metal frames, I bent them and they snapped at the bridge =/

He still bought them though =]

The government denies anything being found at Rosewell.
Also the only witnesses are a baffled farmer, who described it was sheet metal.
So that’s out of the question.
