After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Imagine an unexplained loud but dull thud, run to a front window and look out, and see a small hatchback reversing "at speed" out from the front wall of your roastery and hitting another car in the middle of the road....

By and large, the driver was unhurt.
All of this is considerably higher than the road level. The vehicle has to first jump a kerb, travel uphill and then jump a 300mm timber retaining wall to the outdoor seating area, before hitting the front of the building. Which probably "washed off" enough momentum that the vehicle didnt demolish the wall and end up inside the building....
Hmmm...certainly put a dampener on my afternoon.
