Of course it’s important to realize that the tale becomes more grand with each telling but a witness account went like this; “Under cover of the early hours of one Friday morning, a group of volunteers pushed the FJ Holden under the bridge next to the water on the southern bank of the Torrens.

“The car was lifted using beams and lifting gear attached to a small hand-operated crane on the footbridge. The crane, with car attached, was then pushed out to the centre of the bridge. The car was firmly secured to the bridge using a large chain. The crane and volunteers then quickly disappeared into the night and were never found.”
