It is quite amazing what's possible even at low speeds in a car.
I heard a crunch noise and came out if my house one day to find a fiesta on it's roof in the middle of the road. It's a dead straight, clear wide residential street, about 400 yards long. There was a minor scrape on a parked mundano a few feet away and the car hadn't skidded along on it's roof for any distance, so it can't been going any speed really. Absolutely no idea how the young woman managed to do it!

I guess this TT driver was lucky he had so much hairdressing equipment in the boot, otherwise he would of launched even higher.

I came across a rolled car, don't know quite how they managed it but they were parked, managed to hit a lamp post and slide up it and put the car on it's roof. I guess it was an auto and got the wrong pedals

Saw a Pugeot 205 do that when doing a 3 point turn. It's called Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA) and usually happens in automatics.
You think you're pressing the brake but since you're not slowing down you instinctively press it harder causing you to accelerate faster and so on and so on.
To me it looks like the TT driver was just driving like a tit.

It's an Audi; no shi' Sherlock
Regarding Bs/sub-Bs: I've seen a barrel-rolled Ford Ka; the top-heaviness & egg-shape means they roll easily & don't stop, doing only minor panel damage! I knew a guy who did likewise in his mother's 127GT...

Now I know you enjoy the odd crash here and there, but that's just TMI!
