It's Just Not Tennis.........
College being somewhat rural, and the last bus back from town being 9:30, we were often at a loss of something to do on those long balmy summer evenings.

Staggering back from the bar a little the worse for wear, we saw the entire contents of someone's room neatly arranged on the cricket square. What a laff! What a wheeze! what a jape!

Except that upon further inspection it turned out to be my room! Bastards!

*wavy lines*

Two weeks later, walking back from the bar, the culprit (we'll call him "Geoff" for convenience sake) noticed a space where his car was usually parked. Upon closer inspection he found his car to have been "parked" in the centre of the tennis courts. Through a gate half the width of his car. And there it sat!

It took the college gardners a week to work out how I'd managed to get it there through 10 foot high chain link fencing!

Still makes me chuckle.

The easy way
would be to get a pair of pliers and untwist the wires that I've seen normally being used to keep chain link fencing in place. Not many are needed to do the job I've found, they can be spaced a couple of feet apart going up the poles used for support.

Or it's magic of David Copperfield magnitude.

Did you
put it on its side and get it in on 2 wheels?

Chaka Demus and.....
Pliers, I'm afraid. We carefully unthreaded a strand of the wire, peeled back the fencing, put planks over the horizontal wires, rolled the car (a Vauxhall Viva) into the court, and then carefully re threaded the wire again with the pliers.

Took three of us an hour.
