I ca't imagine how she managed to do this, all I can think is she was looking out the back window wondering why things were getting further away and felt a slight bump...

Reminds me of the time my mate's ex (you know the one) managed to get his Isuzu Trooper entangled in the trolley park railings in Sainsbury's. So she just stuffed it in 4L, floored it and tore off one side of the truck.

Notice, if you will, a concrete "curb" in front of the Celica - this would provide some lift with the ground clearance of the 4WD and sent the wheel up the (low) bonnet of the car.

That's my idea anyway :cheesy:

I've not seen cars mounting each other yet (sure to come) but bumper cars is a regular game here.

I did see a Carlton on a concrete block once (part of some sort of foundation I think) with all four wheels off the ground, about 15 feet from the road. It did have Bosnian plates though.

She was probably up to her ears in hard work having to do everything around the house, take the kids to school and do all the shopping - it's not easy being a Woman you know, she was obviously stressed to breaking point the poor thing.

I was going to suggest she was in a rush to get home to watch Neighbours but I changed my mind. :twisted:

I think she was just being a stupid bint and put the car into drive rather than reverse.

f*ck me, only got two pedals and a stick that goes in two positions and she still fucks it up....
