Only 2 rear tail pipes so probably a diesel or 4 cylinder petrol.

I literally have no idea how the fk that happened. It is only about 5 mins from where I live and you are forced to go at virtually walking speed from about 500yards before.

The fines for that will be ENORMOUS.

Speeding in France AND Switzerland - and in the latter country there'll be a whole court full of people adding zeros!

From one of the photos it looks as though it didn't need to clear the building at all, it just went round it.

Aye, some poor family did something similar on the M25 last summer. Coming out of the Bell Common Tunnel eastbound where there were some roadworks. They'd clipped the metal barrier, problem is the barrier is sloped up from the road to a height of a metre or so, lifting the MPV ( IIRC ) causing it to get some air and roll a long way down the road. nasty, nasty.

Looks more like a Evel Knievel stunt!

Impressive jump and good distance, perhaps needs to work on style , 7/10
