Thanks Grimbo!!!
I think i should explain the story a little bit...
Basically we were doing a little pre-run of a property that the zook club is kind of going to use for some little fun run type events in the future.
One of the obsticles was this hole (old quarry / mine of somesort) ... I had had a few goes at trying to drive up the slope and had been un-successful - it was too steep.
So anyways, the club president had a little drive of the car and decided to drive down the slope instead. he got down it but the back lifted about a foot off the ground.
Later in the day he was having another drive of the little car and thought he'd have another go - as you can see - he came close to never being allowed to drive my little car ever again.
I'm the fellow in the black laughing my head off.
Thanks goes out to Mock for filming it, Chris for editing and Grimbo for hosting
Thanks fellas... Oh, and to Stevie G for not rolling it

I think Steve was only feathering the brakes - so they didn't lock up.
The issue was that there was a lip that the back lifted off of and the front got to the point that there was no traction, so it started sliding quite quickly. I guess it might be feasible to say that the slope was attempted too slowly - maybe allowing it to roll a bit more (i.e. low second) would have rolled a bit better - not sure.

It shows a couple of things
1. Why I don't like driving other peoples cars - nothing worse than damaging someones else things
2. Why Steve needs to get his own Suzuki running
also surely it is about time he stopped driving your car, it should have been you almost rolling your car down that hill

Here comes some of the pics that were taken on the day (sorry - most of them are just of my car so there isn't that much variety - and the ones that aren't - well they're of the uglyest suzuki around)...
