A video clip posted in China recently showed a young girl aged just four or so steering her parents’ car along a busy highway. The proud parent sat alongside her and gave her advice as she steered the vehicle along a busy stretch of road and overtook a series of other vehicles. The proud father eventually told the little girl to pull the car over to the side of the road so he could take the wheel again.

A video clip posted in China recently showed a young girl aged just four or so steering her parents’ car along a busy highway. The proud parent sat alongside her and gave her advice as she steered the vehicle along a busy stretch of road and overtook a series of other vehicles. The proud father eventually told the little girl to pull the car over to the side of the road so he could take the wheel again. The video revealed that the girl used pieces of wood to operate the foot pedals. China’s police now take a tough line on traffic offenders and quite what they would have made of the little girl behind the wheel, and the actions of her parents, is unclear.

Amongst the more peculiar items kept in cars by their owners are mannequins, a bale of hay, 52 pies, a Ouija board, a false leg, 160 hats, 24 rolling pins, a wicker reindeer, two single mattresses, a hamster cage, parts of a railway engine and a urine container.

    Some friends in the US decided to turn a toy Barbie Mustang car into something rather more entertaining. The men fitted a Honda motorcycle engine and new driveline components, including go-kart tyres. This allowed a top speed of 115km/h, which it could reach in just six seconds, making it rather lively and spirited and also difficult to control. The vehicle is definitely not likely to be made road legal any time soon and nor is a model with a similar performance ever likely to be available from the original
