Field stunt hits Top Gear site

A CONTROVERSIAL video showing a Nissan Micra being jumped dangerously from field to field over a West Cork public road has now been uploaded to the popular Top Gear website.

During the 17 second clip which emerged on video-sharing website YouTube several weeks ago, the small red car is seen driving at speed down a steep hill in a field, then leaping through a raised gap in a ditch, over the public road, and passing through a gap in trees across the road before landing in another field and driving off. A person standing close to the ditch appears to be keeping watch and jumps out of the way as the car approaches its take-off.

Onlookers can be heard laughing and calling for the stunt to be repeated.
