And yet Andi's way of dealing with the situation resulted in a solution being found that caused no damage to the house, minimal stress to all involved, and the only 'cost' was being patient for a few days. Sounds like a win all-around to me.
Woken up last night.

All the pictures you've posted kinda made it look like it needed to come out sideways - presumably if they just towed it, it's come out by going forwards?
This is probably why everyone was posting cautiously, to me it looked like it couldn't go forwards

Not sure why pics don't work they are on Dropbox but I know some people have problems.
Anyway the car was initially driven forward and left, something the professionals refused to do. The X5 was used to tow it further up the slope but it required a manual push for the last bit.

No with some careful consideration.

Pic showing fine now
Glad all is resolved.
All credit to you chap for being patient and helping some youngster out
Think the car is going to need a bit of tcut
Lets face it, reversing in the dark, in the rain, in unknown area these sorts of things can happen
It did look like he took a slightly odd line when you posted the vid so it looks like he was struggling to see imo

Going in or coming out?

Coming out.
8x4 sheet of chipboard between house and car

Surely that would still have put quite a load on the wall?
That's...surprisingly...What walls are for!
Sustaining ~1200kg of car load from the outer edge? I didn't think many people would factor for that whilst designing a house, nor do I think that's the purpose of the wall.
You've got your loadings wrong.
Plus they have to sustain things like wind loads...they're rather large forces.
