Motorist is driven nuts after his car breaks down because a squirrel has filled its engine with acorns


A holidaymaker returned from a break to find his car wasn't working - after a squirrel stuffed the mechanics full of hundreds of acorns.

Stunned motorist Andrew Wilkins, 25, says the rodent stashed its hoard of nuts in his Volkswagen Golf.

His vehicle was turned into a winter supply store by the squirrel who hid the acorns in the gearbox, the glove compartment and inside the bonnet.

The stash was only discovered when Andrew, an estate agent from Reigate in Surrey, took his car to a garage because he was unable to change gear easily.

Thx, Daily Mail, for clearing that up for us.

I feel bad for the squirrels who had no winter food afterwards.
