Why are you only posting part of the statement, still busy writing the rest?

He was waiting no longer than a minute and during this time a silver car came up behind him and swung out in to the path of another car. There was a touch of bumpers and the two cars stopped, the drivers got out, talked to each other, shook hands and went away''

That is all pretty accurate for a guy who was only there for a minute apparently!

Can anyone tell if the two trucks on the bridge are parked on the same lane? theres a civic(?) behind the one on the left, was that blocked by the trucks or part of the camera crew?

Seanie, there's another thread here if you would like to post on that too.

I will take anyone's money that this poster will never become a regular contributor to boards once this fizzles out. :cool:

Did anyone get a grab of their other videos? There were another two roundabout videos where the Mcauliffe drivers were acting the idiots as well.

I just find it hard to believe that the management could associate themselves with such defenseless, life threatening behavior. The " we are above the law" mentality is obvious in all of the videos. Well I think they might find out in the coming days that they are not.

TBF, there's no proof of who this person is and what organisation (if any) they are associated with or represent. It could just be some randomer adding fuel to the fire. We're still waiting for an official press release from the two companies linked to these incidences.

It's the same person who's sending me PM's claiming to be Shane McAuliffe threatening me with the Garda.

McAuliffe, ummm I wonder is there any connection to this chap and his speed vans business which has sent driving in this country back to average speeds last seen in the 1960's?

As a Kerryman I am ashamed that both these individuals share the citizenship of our fine and noble county.

Now I'm being told they never threatened me that they requested I take down the video. I think telling anyone their details have been forwarded to the Gardai is threatening behaviour.

Somehow I doubt Shane will be back. Well done MadsL! The hole just keeps getting deeper. At least we've all learnt how not to handle something going wrong.

You'd wonder how these guys manage to run successful companies considering how they can't seem to even deal with this fiasco.

Isn't Commercial interaction on boards forbidden unless it is through the proper channel? If a user has registered to promote (or possibly limit damage) for a company, then it could be categorized as a spammer whom are usually subsequently banned!

I'd imagine that this is less the work of a marketing manager and more the work of an undergrad thinking this would be a great final year project. If someone was actually paid money for this poorly thought out, executed and managed stunt, a P45 should be flung at them with gusto.

"Make it viral, they said. Be grand, they said".
