OUCH.
Seriously.

I live on a laneway and I have a CCTV monitoring activity outside. Last Saturday night some muppet jumped off a ledge onto the bonnet on my significant other’s pride and joy [vintage Mazda MX-3].
The Gardai have seen the footage and are unlikely to find him as he looks like a middle class recreational ‘reveller’ and therefore anonymous. So, I thought that it might be nice if he became famous on the interwebs….

He’s just had too much of the euro 2016 feel good paddy whackery vibe, let him off he might make a video of himself fixing it and post it on joe.ie
Beer swilling “legend”.
“vintage Mazda MX-3”
Not vintage.
Were the seventies vintage in the 90s? The car is 20-25 years old.
Has to be over 30 years to be ‘vintage’. Classic is 20 to 30 years.
Loving the pedantry. Especially the initial post which doesn’t bother to explain.
If you want to be a pedant according to wikipedia “it is a car from the period of 1919 to 1930”.
Pedant.
To be extra pedantic, here’s what the terms actually mean ‘officially’:
Antique – Vehicles built up to 31st December 1904.
Veteran – Vehicles built between 1st January 1905 and 31st December 1918.
Vintage – Vehicles built between 1st January 1919 and 31st December 1930.
Post Vintage – Vehicles built between 1st January 1931 and 31st December 1945.
Classic – Vehicles built between 1st January 1946 and 31st December 1960*.
*But anything 30 years old qualifies for classic motor tax, and you can get get ‘classic’ insurance on younger yolks, assuming they’re deemed collectable.
I’d consider an original model MX-5 a classic.
Possibly an unserious usage of ‘vintage.’
the true reply of a twit.
*I started the last sentence without a Capital T! What you gonna do bout it!
Maybe when’s drunk he likes to try alternative ‘Screenwipes’. It would be quite the Black Mirror for him if he were to see it now.
Brilliant Mikey.That’s after giving me a good laugh.
I’d say he put a fair dent in it, the plump fellow
if I said ‘rotund person’, would that be more likely to make it through the filter intact?
ah here – can we say the word ‘fat’? And can we not hurl epithets at car-jumpers?
Why do I feel more well disposed towards Rolling Man than the people putting up footage of him on the internet?
You like the cut of his jib?
Because it’s not your car?
It’s the boob grabbing that did it for me
Very possibly. Although if someone were to attempt a jump’n’roll on my beast of a 04 panda, I think I’d be looking on in baffled admiration. It would hurt you more than you could possibly hurt it.
the gardai should have arrested him for the elbow patches alone .
rallye elbows…..classic…thumbs up.
the elbows patches are “vintage”
reasonably well-executed roll in fairness
Middle class high jinks are exempt from prosecution because the perp will invariably know someone who will make a call to the right person.
That’s why Daddy plays golf.
in the rough
Serious question. Does publishing this cctv video not break data protection laws?
So they say but it’s a load of rubbish. This is not the man’s “personal data”.
Is it not a case that the person in it would have to come forward and complain about it first?
Happened in a public place so no.
Finally, someone who know’s their image right protection law thingys.
Looks like Brian O’Driscoll let himself go.
yikes
It’s defo a ledge bag goy
Polished looks…
Thought it could do with a wash, myself.
Sorry Anon, that above was a response to a now removed comment, I wasn’t justifying this fella’s jumping on your other half’s car.
Unless Im mistaken, he also sexually assaults the car around 1.08 – which is a far more serious offense.
He was saying sorry to it like a total ledge. ‘Goys, I had the craziest night. I like, wwe style off the ropes dropped this sports cor then like connected with it. Man those things were strong’
High fives all around for the crazy ledge bag
its an mx5
Competition: Name the laneway.
Prize: I will outdo this middleclass chappie later, tanked up on Excelsior Lager and show him how I roll on ‘vintage cars.’
Outcome: CCTV footage later, and hopefully more copycat stunts.
Lads lane or Wilton terrace?
yea its not quite a vintage car in fairness….just old. But thats beside the point, fecking eejit for what he done….hopefully a truck came along, out of sight and smashed his bottom….it’s what he deserves….
What a fupping bum person.
Ket.
Does look a bit like that, alright.
It kinda looks like he’s talking to somebody higher up in the building at the start but then he seems to be talking to the car later on so either he’s got mates living upstairs from you that’re filming him or else he’s just completely off his chops.
Its not a vintage model tho…
He’s probably a vegan…
What is it with you and vegans(?)
– also, I doubt that salad-dodger is a veggie/vegan
Vintage Vegan sounds like a character from a vegetarian parody of Pulp Fiction.
‘Mmm. Royale with cheese’.
‘A bean patty, actually.’
‘Bean patty with cheese.’
‘No cheese, either And they had to mash it up for me because my falsies can’t handle solids. I’m Vintage Vegan.’
I bet he leaves notes for his “noisy” neighbours too
Noisy being, that they listen to the television at a reasonable volumn after 9pm.
Bet he’s a wall knocker too
There’s no breach of data protection law. The CCTV camera is pointing to a public place.
And there’s no reason – other than laziness – for the Gardai not to follow this up.
It must surely be easy enough for someone to recognise this guy.
Ket?
I’d say PETA would be a start…
You need to be ready for fkrs like this. Arm yourself with a giant 4 or 5 litre squarting pistol and always have a reserve of a couple of 10 litre drums of stagnant piss. Good old fashioned fun and way better than the violance.
Yes, store large quantities of “stagnant piss” in your apartment. That will teach them.
Alright I get the point…just one 10L drum then and hidden discreetly behind the Pampas grass on the varanda.
Pampas grass, eh? That’s quite lifestyle. Piss storing orgies.
Stop, drop, and roll.
Why is the video the wrong way round – like we’re looking at it thru’ a mirror?
Welcome to the Pleasure Dome.
thank you.
You e just shared his face on a public forum.
You’ve broken the law / data protection act.
I’d recommend blurring his face or removing the video. Because he could sue the data controller of this CCTV footage, ie: you
LOL @ ern
He’s a funny one, little Ern
Was the car damaged? Looks the same before and after to me. What would/could the Gardaí charge him with? Genuine question
This is fake. He is pretending to be drunk. A drunk fella wouldn’t pull off a roll like that. Where is the cars reg plate. Why is your CCTV zoomed in on a single car space and not a wider shot of the street. Not vintage, and not an MX3.
He is a stunt man and if he is not he should be.
Mazda could use the video to show just how good and strong their cars are and will last.
You can narrow it down to Institute of Tech lecturers because of the elbow patches. Not a University professor though as they wear corduroy pants instead of denim jeans.
