This Chinese silver Chevrolet has certainly found a parking spot with a difference. It sits not so proudly on top of a 50ft column of earth, after a family tried to halt diggers working on a government project. Qu Liming, refused to move his family from their home on one of the hills set to be flattened in the name of progress.

But rather than stop work in the face of the parked car, workers merely dug around it leaving it completely stranded.
