    Was driving past this on Saturday and seen a car on top of this! Any body see it?

    For anyone that doesn't know it, this is a high roundabout. It has a large kerb running around it and and a brick work "ramp". I couldn't believe it when I seen it. The guy driving the car must have been wellying it to end up there. The car was just about holding together, but the chasis obviously snapped in half.

    Yeah saw it - the frong of the car (Mk 4 Golf) was in crap but I'm still amazed it go up on it as the brick work is quite steep

    Yeah it is very steep. At first I was thinking how it got there and then it was "seriously how fast must the car have been going to get up there?!"

    Drove past this too.. was a MkIII golf - sorry to be pedantic, a 93 reg. Looks like it was a nice car before the joyriders got hold of it. front suspension on drivers side was ripped out of it, must have hit roundabout and a decent speed.
    Not the first incident there, a few months back when there were still concrete barriers there i came upon the Gardaí dealing with a barrell rolled Impreza that hit the barrier, It was in ribbons.

    Saw that myself too... Impressive how they managed to lamp a Golf 6 foot up an almost sheer - sided roundabout...
