Hi,

Well it just goes to show we are all Human :lol:

After seeing the interview on the beeb on Sunday morning with Andrew Marr and Mr Obama i would not be supprised that Mr O saw the funny side of it, he came over as a normal bloke even if he is the most powerful man in the world.

Just my two pennies.

Roger.

PS, on second thoughts to my post, if the front suspension had a malfunction then he would not have been a happy bunny :doh: :doh:

I know how they work. I also know that they don't work instantaneously like that. Watch it closely. The car goes up, has clearance, everything seems fine, then suddenly, the front suspension collapses and the vehicle grounds out. Could be they just got past the balance point, but the collapse of the front suspension seems to happen first then the car hits the ramp and you hear the "clank" as it hits the gate track.

I'd guess what ever went CLANG broke it, or the sudden jolt triggered systems into thinking it was under attack and it tried to duck down and hide.
