Last night around 8:30 I got a call from one of my mates who told me a guy came into the church and tried to fight some guy. He got thrown out and came back to drive a dark blue round nose mini through the glass doors.
I looked it up on the net but I can not find any pictures or news footage.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010 ... ction=news

ABC news is the only one I've found so far that even references it was a mini.
Quote:
A service was in progress with around 300 people inside the Christian Outreach Centre on Keil Mountain Road at Woombye, when a car drove through the glass doors of the church just after 8:00pm (AEST).

The man has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and wilful damage and is due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court later this month.

Pastor Dr Chas Gullo says no-one was hurt when the car crashed into the packed church service.

"A mini-vehicle drove through the side doors of the auditorium and smashed a bit of furniture and of course the two front doors," he said.

"The service was almost coming to an end ... the congregation was quite surprised that no-one was hurt."

Oh crap!

That looks like my mate's mini.

I'll have to get hold of him to see if he had an argument with the church...

I think it's an '88 Rover if it is, looks a bit better the further away you are.
