the Royal Society of Chemistry put out a competition to try to solve the cliff-hanging problem that confronts 10 robbers in a coach full of gold at the end of the 1969 film The Italian Job
todays Independent illustrates a solution involving breaking some windows (inwards & outwards), popping the tyres, leaking out the petrol, bringing stones in etc - all to be achieved within 30 minutes
it does not involve plunging over the side
coincidentally, this afternoon my little 'caterpillar' of children strolled past an old Mini. A 5-year old chap said he saw a car just like that in The Italian Job - what a young film buff!?
(incidentally, don't the new BMW versions look like they're old ones, just inflated a bit?)

Hat tip to the young film buff.
Although he may have been referring to the utterly redundant Italian Job remake - featuring Cockney chancers Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and Mos Def.
