The reaction of the 3 Gardaí at the right of the gate as the car gets stuck is brilliant, they almost run away

Top article was 23 May 2011 so not really a repost. I found the vid amusing. President of the United States of America imprisoned by a small metal plate ... :devil:

lol thanks guys nice to see someone got the point, just some light entertainment. x

That looked like the spring gave out

I had seen the 1st link, think its funny... some one will have been given a bollocking for that no doubt

The 3ed (unknown's link) is good as I did not know of the car until I saw it get grounded.

But what did happen to the front suspension? does anyone know?

I doubt anything happened to it apart from being grounded, its built like a tank, able to take huge explosions underneath, most likely just got snagged on one of the armoured plates so no real damage.

sorry, still looks like a spring snap

I did wonder if it was anything to do with self leveling suspension.
I didn't think it would have broken, but it does ping back and drop with some force.

Apparently he's been onto 'Redneck County Luxury Cars Ltd' for one of these to replace it!

The metal plate on the floor, in the center, that the security gates close onto is what snagged the underside of the car. The beast is stretched, weights 8 tons and has 8 inch armour underneath, it grounded on the plate as it drove over the crest.

Edit.
A witness said that as it drove out, the car appeared to get its low underbelly caught on a piece of metal sticking up that a gate might lock into.
