How do you drive a car into a shopping mall?

My speculation is they drive it in through the car park and some of the bollards are removable.

I’ve seen them drive them in from the entrance nearest K-Mart Auto (middle level carpark, nearest lake) – although that was before the latest renovation – though I suspect that is still the method used. Bollards are removable and the doors are simply freed of their electronic drive and slid passed their usual open position.

Even if the cars WERE assembled in-situ; a new problem of getting them out, arises… 😛

on an episode of Top Gear (the UK version), there was a car chase through a shopping mall. both cars drove in and out of entrance doors.

Bollards removed, doors opened and cars drive in. The cars are not taken in service lifts – service lifts are not at road level and cars wouldn’t make it in corridors… even if a small car could fit in a lift.

I just noticed behind the silver ute there is a Ford Fiesta. Not sure it got in like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e7R3y-qwZ0

Easy. They drive the car into the Tardis, carry the Tardis into the shopping centre and then drive the car out.

Of course they then have to empty the car boot of the cricket gear it accumulated during the brief trip and I hear some academic claims the whole process is racist because so far only white drivers have been seen driving cars into and out of the Tardis.

I expect they use the service lift located underneath the mall through the loading dock , i mean really 🙂

These Great Wail (sic) utes are pieced together by slave labour in the middle of the night from lightweight imitation parts. Both in China and Belconnen.

Ignore these smart-arses, the simple answer to your question is magic.

Aside from pleasures of the flesh, I can’t think of anything more fun! 😛

Both, at the same time. That would be more fun.

They take the roof off and drop it in by helicopter. Obviously.

3D printers. Drive the future, today.

What a ridiculous post…

I think gungsuperstar’s next post should be an inquiry into a good psychiatrist in canberra

This post is stupid, the only question to be asked is “Where are the key, how much fuel’s it got?”

They use a flux capacitor and the GDE to get up to 88 and time travel to the day before the doors were installed its pretty simple really.

You can’t do 88 do the GDE.

The only other thing that would make you feel like a rebel, or someone from the mid 20th century is drive around Garema Place and the rest of the malled up bits of Civic.

Now that depends on who you fill said shopping mall with. I can suggest a few MLAs … a few hundred cyclists …

I believe the ones near KMart are brought in through where Aldi is. The bollards appear to be removable. The rest is just moving some furniture out of the way….

Also just because one route is impossible, doesn’t mean that there aren’t others which are much easier to get a car through. Keep in mind, the people who bring those cars into the malls have the option of using non public area’s if required.

Somebody should have told that to the nutbag that tried to get a 4WD through the foyer of Parliament House. Now THAT was an epic moment in federal politics.

You could ask Clifford Moss. On 12 August 1992 he drove a 4WD into the Great Hall of Canberra’s Parliament House. I believe he had previously done the same in Adelaide.

Ken Block did it.

Often the automatic doorways which people use are part of a larger hinged door which can be used to bring in bulky goods, such as cars.
