For what it's worth my guess is that she stopped on the downward slope and put the handbrake on with her foot on the brake. She then forgot to put it in neutral or park and got out of the car. The A/C then cut in whilst she was away from the car which caused the engine to move off idle and the increased engine power overcame the resistance of the handbrake and dragged the car into the bushes.

This is the engineer showing through, but to quote Mythbusters quite, "Plausibe"

I'll have you know I trawled through the posts - ignoring those that were clearly just plain guesses - seeking out relevant forensic evidence and came to a structured conclusion that most would find difficult to refute.

You will note that the car involved is red - and it is well known that people who choose red tend to be sporty drivers. Since when did you ever see a red Volvo or red Datsun Cherry, being driven at 20 mph on a busy main road by a old guy who can hardly see over the dashboard, wearing a flat cap, pebble lens glasses and smoking a pipe totally oblivious to the long queue of frustrated drivers behind him. This leads to my second theory................. She came flying down the road, did a handbrake turn into the drive, over-cooked it and crashed into the bushes. Frightened of repercussions from him indoors she quickly thought up a cock and bull story and because Hyundai saw through it - put it on a forum to gain sympathy and support.

I think both my conclusions are rather brilliant - though I say it myself........................

Works for me, Alan....

The red theory works. We have red and I'm always telling the wife to back off, (the throttle). As an engineer, a very structured and formulated conclusion, followed by an even better structured explanation.

I Love both explanations,plus I would loved to hve been there when Phil told his missus to back off

It must be something to do with "Sues", but don't tell her that. Flash back to "Aunty Jack" just occued. Sorry about that. And no, she's not "big bold and fat".

As I'm married to one, I thought exactly that.

Wouldn't be the first time all of them got together with something in common to form a Sue Nation - just asking the septics.

Doggie 1 · **Reply #40: May 12, 2013, 13:33:42**

More like a Sue nami.

Just Rick · **Reply #41: May 12, 2013, 13:41:04**

Doggie 1 · **Reply #42: May 12, 2013, 13:43:54**

Not me. I promi sue.

The Gonz · **Reply #43: May 12, 2013, 13:55:31**

As u-sue-al, we're once again off topic. Sue-ner or later a forum sue-pervisor may point out our mi-sue-se of this thread. However, on topic, was this woman planning to sue?

Doggie 1 · **Reply #44: May 12, 2013, 13:57:04**

This is suereal.

The Gonz · **Reply #45: May 12, 2013, 13:59:07**

You have an is-sue with that?

Just Rick · **Reply #46: May 12, 2013, 14:01:22**

no you had me at reply 42 I ran out of them I will en sue to get more

agentr31 · **Reply #47: May 12, 2013, 14:02:06**

its not possible for that to happen, all 4 wheels are locked when the handbrake, and park is selected in a FWD orientated car!

I'm no mechanic, but I'm pretty well adapted to working on cars! park alone will hold the car on a descent incline.

she basically forgot to put it in park, and didn't pull the handbrake on enough or at all, and she was probably thinking about something else when she did it all...

Just Rick · **Reply #48: May 12, 2013, 14:03:58**

well sue-round me with smart asses, they just keep coming sue-n they will have to run out

The Gonz · **Reply #49: May 12, 2013, 14:06:20**

Was her name Sue? I think her case would end up in the sue-er.

Doggie 1 · **Reply #50: May 12, 2013, 14:09:37**

My niece had a baby the other day.
It was a boy.
Bet you can't guess his name.
And just to keep it on topic, she washes his clothes in a Whirlpool.

Just Rick · **Reply #51: May 12, 2013, 14:15:13**

A Boy Named Sue

Johny Cash used a whirlpool too Ya know,but a very early one which was in the bushes

Doggie 1 · **Reply #52: May 12, 2013, 14:17:32**

Wrong.

It was Jack Matthew Bailey.

That could be his psuedonym though.

Just Rick · **Reply #53: May 12, 2013, 14:24:56**

old name, if I was called Jack I would change my name by depol,to Off

, some years ago I wanted to change my surname to Cranium,so I could officially been called Richard Cranium,Sue and Mum couldn't see the funny side,I thought it was.

Doggie 1 · **Reply #54: May 12, 2013, 14:26:38**

Shaw would be a good surname for you in Asia.
