Car without wheels moves

Could it happen in Kettering (or wherever)?

---

A car that had been without wheels or batteries for six months has moved 15 inches overnight. The old car belonged to a funeral company and was being repaired by Herminio Anselmo da Silva in his shop in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Mr da Silva told Hoje em Dia newspaper, "The car was parked on a flat surface and no one got near it. I cannot explain what happened and it is freaking me out."

Mr da Silva said he is the only one who has the keys of the shop and that the car moved on its own overnight.

He said, "I left the shop at night and on the next morning it had moved. Only this one. I think it must be some energy from the dead inside it."

The man was so terrified with the car that the police brought in a physics teacher to study the case. Beatriz Alvarenga said: "There is no physical explanation to what happened."

Clearly, Mr da Silva has not spent much time in some of the dodgier areas of the UK, where this sort of thing happens all the time...

well it's not exactly on bricks.
It looks like it's stacked on a football or a bit of seacoral.

Oi, da Silva, have you fixed that car yet?


Er, nearly finished, it’s er, erm, er, haunted.

Probably a few of his mates came round and moved it as a wind up, find mates with oily/dirty hands and gravel in their shoes, case solved.

Mmm, good story. (cough#!)

[vjj]

this is nothing to do with the black monaro that suddenly came back from the dead and is for sale in the Autotrader at 18 grand, is it?

The coincidence would be toooooooooo amazing
