I've done that with a BL mini. Wouldn't be quite the same with an 8!

Because that would've taken two stages/steps, Jim - moving it out of the way then (presumably) moving it back again..

I think maybe one of the guys standing there was the moped owner as he has a helmet in his hand, and the driver wanted to make a point very graphically lol

Damn. That was pretty intense.

Considering it was a Fiat Panda / Seat Marbella, lifting it by the rear wheel arch was a calculated risk. They're usually so rusty, he could have ended up ripping a strip of rotten steel off the rear quarter panel.

And cutting through his fingers in the process.
