You have some strange taste in garden ornaments 
Make a nice little donor maybe........
Or better still ransom the owner for it back
Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads!

Too bad that skoda is not a good doner. The driver had to pick it up with a lorry and my lawn is full of oil and glycol. He even manage to drive over
our apple tree

Once had to help a guy out of his skoda, he'd come round a corner ......
well not quite come round 
and left it on the side...... bit strange opening the door upwards so he could climb out.

I went to a call years ago where an old guy was sitting in his Reliant Robin eating an icecream on the sea front in a gale. The car got blown over and
he couldn't open the door upwards so somebody called the Fire Service!

I don't know, It happens every year. I think it comes from the sky, but i'm not sure.
It is some strange white powder and Its very slippery to.
I can send you some, if you want, we have plenty here

True..
We have a small junction close to our garden and the speed limit is 30 kph. This is the tird accident this year in this junction.
My plan is to build a concret wall instead of the fence.

And we all thought you scandinavians were good at driving on the ice......
Rather build a berm out of earth as it would slow the car down rather than killing the car occupants.

depends if he wants to protect his land or not!!!!
Where my parents live we had a spate of accidents over 2 years. Then they stopped.
Worst was a BMW that was owned by the parents of a lad i went to school with. The only accident i've ever walked away from. The car was 50
metres from the bend, upside down, wheels spinning rest at 45 degress against a tree. Fences and brick walls where demolished. As we came out you
could hear them crying and screaming.
Plenty of neighbours where around, i couldn't face seeing what was inside the car.
Turns out it was the lad i knew driving with his mates. All 4 got out with nothing more than scratches, bruises and brown trousers.
Another bad one was a bus cutting the corner, from the drivers mirror the car he hit looked in a bad way. Poor bloke was in complete shock, he thought
he'd killed the car driver. Car driver was fine just trapped by the steering wheel / pedals.

Theres no room for a berm, otherwise it would be a good solution.
I'm also thinking of building a fence similar to the fences between the lines on highways. Its a steel cable type of fence.
If the people drive at 30 kph as they should, they wouldn't end up out side my kitchen window.

They are used on some dual carriageways/motorways in the UK now instead of the older Armco fences. It's supposed to be very effective.
I hope his insurance will pay for all the damage caused?

Yeah, he (driver) has reported it to the insurance company. I will call them on monday.
an other solution would be to put some big rocks behind the wooden fence.

Neighbours of my parents did something similar ..........
they put big rocks infront of the fence - they thought it would be cheaper then rebuilding the fence!
Then again, they didn't recon on the BOC lorry fully laiden not making the corner
