Long Ditton family find 'Satan's car' parked in front of their home

A Christian family are concerned dark forces are behind a devilish looking car that has sat in front of their house for a month.

Julian Clarke, from Long Ditton, is concerned about a black Pontiac Trans Am that has been anonymously parked in his road.

“I also find it offensive. Other people might not raise an eye but I find it offensive. I don’t know anything about the owner but I bet he doesn’t want it in front of his house for those reasons.”

The sinister vehicle has blacked out windows, 666 on the number plate, devils on all four wheels and has been stationary for a month.

“I go to church and I’m quaking in my boots,” said Mr Clarke.

“The car is like the spawn of the devil, it couldn’t look more evil if it tried. The only way it could look worse would be if it had horns.”

Mr Clarke said he did not take much notice at first but as Halloween approaches, his fears are growing.

“I’m beginning to think there is something dark and unexplained happening here. We want it moved from outside our house,” he said.

“I also find it offensive. Other people might not raise an eye but I find it offensive. I don’t know anything about the owner but I bet he doesn’t want it in front of his house for those reasons.”

Mr Clarke now plans to report the vehicle to the police, so the owner can be traced.

He said: “The kids will be scared to knock on our doors to trick or treat. I have a serious concern people will associate us with satanic worshipping.

“The number plate is 666, the number of the beast, and I’m worried that Halloween is coming up and the Satan is at our feet.”

I am sure Satan would not turn up in a black Pontiac - esp in Long Ditton. Maybe a Range Rover - with flames down the side - see that then worry!

Are you being serious??
It's a bloody car.
Mine has a fairy sticker on, doesn't mean it has a fiary's spirit or something within it.

Have to agree with Ditzy as well, Range Rover sounds more suitable.

Did make me smile reading this though!!

"The only way it could look worse would be if it had horns."
If it didn't have at least one horn, it would fail the MOT.
This is just the funniest thing I've read in ages.

How fiendish! Pretty sure that Satan was driving an old Mini Metro last I heard. He must be doing well if he's upgraded to a Pontiac

Is the car still there? Maybe it's causing an obstruction.

I admit that I'm just as likely to get annoyed about cars parked inconsiderately as the next guy. But it does seem very odd that such a car can find its way into the local newspaper.

I think someone's playing silly billies here. I'm going to see if I can find it in the street, see if it's still there.

Hmmm, I wonder if the driver would be offended by christian stickers on your car, Mr Clarke?

Number plates, cars and devil motifs cant harm you. Only people and very fast falling pianos.

I be more worried if I had this bloke as a neighbour. Bonkers, backward thinking ignorance is a far bigger threat to society than plain common sense.

It is time that religion of any kind was prohibited to save us from fools like him.
