True, but how many end up on their side with the driver stuck inside?
Or onto a McLaren worth £X. We can now all feel better that the rich fker had his car damaged. That will teach him to be more successful than us.

Oh how we laugh at his misfortune to make us feel better when our lives are actually a bit st and we have achieved very little.

Like most people on here, I wasn't laughing at his expense, but if it makes you feel better for doing so, you can cling to an untruth.

Not sure where this comment is going. What matters if its an expensive car or a Matiz?
The suv may be on its side in a car park but... its just another smash in the demolition derby, that being stty supermarket car parks.

I had to stand next to an idiot who had rear ended my car, while he was speaking to his Insurer.
He actually said to them that it would polish out. I was shouting at him (close enough for them to hear) How will polish fix a bumper that's hanging off, you !

What kind of tank is that? Glorious looking thing.
Leopard 2.
Looks more like a MK1 I think.
Leo 2A4 - the Germans and Dutch offloaded hundreds of them as they downsized their fleets c.2000. Austria (and many other thrifty NATO opportunists) lapped them up.

Do you think the Audi driver had the decency to leave a note on the McLaren before continuing on into the supermarket?

Quite apart from the damage done to the McLaren you cannot, whatever you hit, put an Audi on it's side at what most people would consider normal car park speeds.
But I bet he tells his insurance he was doing 3, maybe 5 mph at the most!
And, trapped in the car? If I'd come back to that I would have got him out of his car.....

It would be interesting to inspect the structural elements of that McLaren to see how they stood up to the impact.

I think it's a 2 as well, the turret looks more mk2 than mk1
Quite right Austria operates Leopard 2A4s.

Like most modern tanks they are fairly spectacular to watch - seeing a Dutch Leo powerslide around the arena at speed (think it was a 2A6) at Tankfest a couple of years ago is a vivid memory in a three Leo formation accompanied by the Tank Museum’s ex-Canadian examples, matched by a similar demo by a Challenger 2 following it. Tanks have moved on a lot from the slow lumbering machines of the past.

Yes, I'm not too impressed by the roof collapsing so much.
Mt daughters Corsa survived much better when she rolled it.

In fairness, an Audi Q5 probably weighs more than the pressure exerted by a Corsa on it's own roof.

I keep going back to this and just thinking...how? Presumably there must have been no cars opposite and they drove straight across the car park at 20+ mph? Surely with the angle of driving down a normal row of cars you couldn't manage that...
