In the UK the owner of a small three wheeled car is growing extremely frustrated with the actions of local youths who keep rolling his car on its side. This follows on from a popular British motoring TV programme in which the presenter repeatedly rolled the same model of car when cornering during a driving demonstration. The presenter wished to highlight the instability of the vehicle in a humorous manner, however this has inspired the youths to roll the man's car on its side on a number of occasions. The vehicle owner understandably finds this behaviour somewhat less than humorous and the repair bills for his car continue to mount.

    A British man cut his own car in half as a protest after being fined for having it parked illegally on the road, despite the fact that it was in his own driveway at the time. One wheel of the vehicle had been protruding onto the pavement (sidewalk) by a mere 50mm and the car had been registered by its owner as being off-road, without the annual license duty being paid. However when the man returned from work he discovered that it had been clamped and was told by the authorities that it would be towed away.

    A pensioner on the UK’s south coast has decided to turn his wandering ways to water instead of the road. The divorced man opted to install his caravan on a catamaran, adding an outboard motor for propulsion purposes. The seaworthiness of the craft has not been fully tested and hopefully the man will restrict its movements to short trips in shallow waters on calm days. Also in the UK a pensioner has been spotted towing his boat to and from the nearby harbour using his mobility scooter. Luckily the boat is c

    An Australian man has had to make a somewhat embarrassing apology to his father after crashing a treasured classic racing car. The man was competing in a car rally in Tasmania, taking over racing the Ford Capri after his father injured his back earlier in the competition. The father had warned his son neither to come second, nor to crash the car. However, one corner proved too much for the man’s ability and he lost control of the car as he roared around the bend at some 130km/h. The car left the road, flew
