Ouch - Gear mistake flattens sports car

[dipsydoodle]

Police are investigating a crash in which a £30,000 jeep ended up parked on top of two other cars, one of them a Porsche sports car worth up to £45,000. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7472490.stm

1. Ya gotta chuckle at the quotes....

From the article:
"I saw the woman who drove the jeep and she just looked befuddled, she couldn't really understand what was going on - which is probably understandable enough if you drove a car out over two other cars," he said.

The BBC spoke to the driver of the Toyota, but he said he was "not in the mood to give interviews". --I'm guessing NOT.... :crazy:







Call me cynical, but I gotta wonder if a cell phone was not involved in this "tragic gear mistake." :eyes:

2. Over here, like it or not,

the main focus will be on women drivers and Ireland.....lol. I think you may well be right about the cellphone aspect. It's fortunata that no one was seriously hurt.

Wow.

6. That's exactly what I was thinking!

WTF? Hell, even going forward out of a parking space (or anywhere, for that matter), I wouldn't punch it hard enough to run up on top of two cars!


:crazy:
