There was a movie c. 1966 called "The Italian Job."  In one scene, they use
a car transporter full of Fiats to try to bash in heavy wooden church 
courtyard gates.  Fiats falling off everywhere, bashing the truck against
the wall over and over... :)

Some truly classic driving scenes in that movie.  They wreck a dozen mini's,
two jags, an aston... cops on motoguzzi's chasing mini's through restaurants,
down stairs...
