World’s Smallest Car
Posted on May 16, 2009 - Filed Under General, Technology
Hey Oz, Have you seen the world's smallest car? They say it's so small, it can fit in a mini! The 47-year-old spent seven months assembling the car after finding just the right candidate - a Postman Pat kiddie ride. He scored it on eBay.“It was in non-operative order, but for what I had in mind, this was of no consequence as I only wanted the bare fibreglass body from the ride,” he told The Sun newspaper. “This meant the unceremonious removal of Pat and his black-and-white cat Jess, the money box and sundry other bits and bobs.”
That done, he built a steel frame and mounted a 150 cc engine pulled from an ATV. Then he added lights, mirrors, wipers and, of course, a wind-up key. The flames are a nice touch.
The car is road legal, but even Watkins has his limits. His daily driver is a Jaguar.
