Interesting question.
Sadly to my knowledge the answer is no. But if you want to experience the effect I can refer you to a few places.

Gravity hill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

A gravity hill (also known as a gravity road) is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope. Thus, a car left out of gear will appear to be rolling uphill. There are hundreds of known gravity hill locations around the world.

this site provides a list of places where you can try it out.

here is a great article on one of the sites.

and a great site for more spots that are of the same interest

No its not possible.
I know there are some places around the world where this phenomenon of 'magnetic hills' seems to exist, but after they did some research into this, it appeared to be an optical illusion. The surrounding landscape gives the impression of an upward slope, while in fact the slope is oriented downwards. The thing that all these places have in common is that the horizon cannot be seen (sight is blocked by hills/trees), which makes this illusion possible since we use the horizon as a reference for interpretation of the enviroment surrounding us.

if you are driving uphill and loose control so that the car overturns and its momentum carries it further up the hill you have rolled the car uphill, sure it is possible

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question though, by roll do you mean the wheels or the car. If you mean only the wheels rolling, well cars roll uphill all the time. Unless you mean rolling without engine power. Well then I'm sure cars can be pushed up hill, so yes. If you mean roll up hill from a dead stop without any outside force then no. Magnetism, wind, man power would all be outside forces.

A car can only roll up a hill only if has enough momentum from an earlier force, that has played on it.

Only if it just got done rolling down a hill larger than the one it is rolling up.

there's a hill right here the place that occurs. human beings flow to it and placed the vehicle into impartial to work out it ensue each and all of the time. that's a hill of magnetized lodestone and the magnetic rigidity pulls the vehicle up the hill.

give it a little gas.

Those creepy hills are everywhere and are usually an optical illusion, it looks like an uphill in comparison to the surrounding environment, but it is actually downhill....

It seems to go against the laws of physics....have you seen this?? It would indeed be a phenomenom. You should describe the situation if real.

as long as there is enough momentum or there is a large magnet on the other side

it depends on the rolling way of hill.then if it is smooth hav 2 see the condition/ distance.then u can loose gravity.
