I remeber years ago watching Record Breakers and it showed a road in Scotland, I think, where if you took the handbreak off a parked car it appeared as though it was rolling uphill. Am I dreaming or is there an actual place where this happens?

Hi osprey,

No you weren't dreaming, I don't know where that one is but there are a few around the world,my sister went to one in Australia a couple of months ago,really odd when you watch it on film, magnetic effect or something,somebody will put the correct name for it i'm sure, Ray
its called the electric brae cant remember where it is but will try to find out for you
There is also one of these near Spelga Dam in the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland.
I think it is merely an optical illusion but it is very impressive!
I think its around Ayrshire.

Is the Spelga Dam near Newcastle in Co. Down?
In the north of Shropshire is a reservoir at the side of the road. An optical illusion makes the water seem to be sloping downhill. On a busy day, the view is obscured by Irish water ski teams.
grunty you ignorant racist c*** - do you think it's funny to make racist Irish jokes - do you have a full repertoire such as jokes about black people and drugs, Asian people and corner shops, Chinese people and slanty eyes?

I suppose you do the NF and BNP Christmas parties?
Yes it is called the Electric Brae It is in Ayrshire, just south of Ayr near the Killeen Castle. It is well weird.
Poorclare - yup, Spelga Dam is quite close to Newcastle.
