Something I spotted on South African marketing site 10and5 is this story of a pair of Cape Town parking attendants who were given a 1.4 million rand – or according to iol.co.za 1.9 million (£161k / $262k) – Audi R8 by a mystery benefactor.

Apparently the businessman asked them to use it to perform good deeds, “because of a dream he had.” The two parking guards have since cut a slit in the hood of the Audi for people to drop donations and suggestions.

An extreme and heart warming case of pay it forward, or as iol.co.za suggests money that could have been used to generate extra interest to feed the homeless? Or, maybe a PR stunt, though the car carries no branding whatsoever (other than the hand made ‘future for all sign’).

Whichever version you believe, it really is, as 10and5 says, a fairy tale come true.

Check out the short clip of the new owners of the car above.
