I have to agree with that comment Sorry Bob

That does look pretty mad though considering how far the rear wheels are off of the ground any more details of pictures?

Looks like someone's reversed through the back of their garage. What was the wall built from, paper mache?

The caption with this pic from that site reads:

Chasing a WRX around a curve, the WRX made it, the Lotus didn't...

By the look of the second,, side-on pic, the house looks like a standard English council house build from the 80's, ie. single brick then plasterboard.

I don't know owt about it, I just blagged the pic from another forum!

It doesn't look right to me, I don't get why it's gone in so high up the wall plus there's no wheel tracks and no damage to the roof of the car, you'd expect a few bricks to hit the roof surely?

The ground to the left of the picture looks elevated, I guess the car was airbourne when it hit the wall, with that much force it porbably threw all the bricks forward in to the house and on to the bonnet. IMO

The guy in the green jumper is holding the house up until they get that scaffold pole in place. He's in both pictures

OK, that second picture changes things quite a bit. I guess they were going fast enough to punch through a brick wall given they must have taken off and flown through the air before hitting that house
