Discussion
For those of you who never saw it, this appeared in todays 'Sun'
"WELL that’s one way to solve your parking problems ... a Porsche and a Vauxhall taxi end up stacked after a bizarre prang.
Boxster driver Barry Neale ploughed into the back of the K-reg Carlton when it stopped suddenly.
The low bonnet of the 150mph sports car shot under the bumper of the taxi and hoisted it into the air.
Barry, 45, feared he would be crushed but the £45,000 Porsche’s convertible roof took the two tons of strain.
The cabbie helped his unhurt passengers, a mum and baby, climb down the bonnet of the Porsche in Cardiff."
