    Whoa! You can see what looks like the edge of a display ramp/stand in one of the photo's ..... maybe someone was putting the car up on the ramp and their foot slipped off the clutch.... hopefully noone was checking out that BMW at the time!

    looks like it hit the wall at speed (sideways) , launched off the BMW and landed sideways between the cars.

    not a good look at all.

    Given that the front fence is smashed, I'd say someone was giving the Clubbie a bit of a fang and lost control BIG TIME.

    My guess is that they were travelling East down Grimshaw St and tried turning into the side street leading into Watson's.

    Tried taking the turn at speed and ended up smashing through the front fence. There isn't much damage to the front, so I'd say it got airborn when it hit the lower portion of the fence, smashing high on the BMW's bonnet and ended up & resting on top of the Vectra and Commodore.

    Hope no-one was hurt.

    Would of had to be carrying alot of speed to pull that off.

    That said, I agree with your hypothesis.


    Someone is in ALOT of trouble. I can't imagine the sick feeling they would of had in the gut after that.
