The 22-year-old has covered the Felicia with fake grass from bumper to bonnet, complete with flag on the roof and a bunker. ‘My youngest sister, Sarah, will not get in the car, she said: ‘‘I am not going in that, I would not go in it even if I was dead,’’ said Mr McArthur.‘But my friends who have been in the car love it and say people just stare at it when I am driving around. I have seen people taking pictures and then ask me about it.’ The film extra was hunting for a replacement for his Renault Megane Scenic when he spotted his dream car on auction website eBay.

“A 70-year-old woman in northern India’s state of Uttar Pradesh has been eating about two kilograms of sand everyday for the past 40 years and has not reported any health problems because of this rare habit. “I am eating sand for the past 40 years. There is my habit and there is no problem with me due to this,” said Krishnavati. The rare thing is that she did not have any problem in her stomach or with her health even after consuming this much amount of sand. Initially, Krishnavati’s family members were worried about her rare habit, thinking that it would cause serious illness to her. But as she remained healthy, even they started encouraging her by bringing sand from market. “I have been noticing that she is eating about 2 kilograms of sand daily. Many times, she asked us to get her sand from shop. She eats it and is not having any difficulty due to this. She is healthy even now,” said Suryanath, Krishnavati’s neighbor. Doctors say that this is a psychological illness and need to be treated.” w/ photo + video
