Dosn't bear thinking about. We had a car crash near us once where a car had hit one of them old wooden road signs once which lauched it up only to land wedged in the steel shuttering which was sticking out the road works hole. (The stuff they use for shoring up.) The car fitted like a glove between both sides and ended up about 5 feet of the ground. It wasn't quite as exotic as the one above as it was a Volvo 340.

Kind of reminds me of a similar puzzling situation I came across at Le Mans a few years back. Whilst walking round the back streets of the old town (Lost !) . We came across a Fiat Panda parked on the top of a flight of steps on a platform only just big enough for the car to fit onto. The car was at least 6 foot above the road, and each step was approx 1 1/2 feet high. There was no way in the world it was driven up there over those steps and no way of driving it up a ramp either. If it was lifted up there as a practical joke then I would have loved to see the size of the bloke that lifted it there. Several of us stood looking at it for over 5 minutes and could'nt figure out how it had got up there.

I suspect this neighbourhood is one where on street parking seems to be at a bit of a premium.  Plus the local authority charge a ridiculous cost for a parking permit and they are as rare as rocking horse poo.

Also, just around the corner is one of those 'wardens from hell' parking attendants with the peak of his cap pulled down and armed to the teeth with a fresh pad of parking tickets.

Thus, our hero used his initiative and used the roof of his house to park on - first class.

Say what you like about the car, but the driver was obviously a bit of a pr*t
