saw this on the way home last night and had to take a pic

he must of come round the corner and spun it up the curb (this pic is after he'd moved it a bit as it was originally more square onto the wall (i did drive past it again to get the pic

)

no real visible damage and no one was injured.

Its clear why it happened though... The window was down, The wind caught it and spun it.

Nothing to do with the car.

Excellent handling cars.

i've said it before and I'll say it again...

'Just because you drive a 106 gti, it doesn't make you a brilliant driver'

The car is only the tool... The driver has to know how to use it

Or he had CD's in the boot, That would have been a school boy error.

yes

I instructed the driver to round the S bend, sideways, then mount the curb at a respectable rate of velocity

I saw a new fiesta on its roof at the side of a dual carriageway the other day, its a straight bit of road and the only part of the car that was damaged was what you would expect from it being on its roof
