The REAL Black Beastie would've jumped the ramp & outrun the "bomb".

    Does he really need a daft car like that? ::)

You'd have thought that someone would have foreseen that happening, the BMW in front only just cleared, a stretched Caddy was never going to clear the ramp.  ;D ;D ;D

I'm surprised that the car doesn't have inbuilt suspension lifts to overcome that exact problem.
I'd suspect that the internal ramifications within the Security Services responsible for the forward planning of  the trip for such a blunder would be far reaching .

However , It's good to see my car is not the only one to get fukced by the Irish roads ........ :)

It's built to withstand direct missile assault, chemical and biological weapons (with a self contained oxygen system), buried explosive devices.. everything, really (apart from, it seems, a sloping driveway).
