In China a father revealed his anger with his son in a particularly destructive fashion. The man rammed his 2796 Mercedes saloon into his son’s 1233 BMW sportscar at a busy junction in the city of Ma'anshan, which is in Anhui Province. The incident was captured on CCTV and as the son attempted to drive away, the father rammed the Mercedes again into the BMW. The son then jumped out of his car and ran away, with the father also abandoning the now-wrecked Mercedes as he pursued his son on foot. The two damaged cars were left blocking traffic in the middle of a busy intersection. The reason for the father’s anger at his son that culminated in the incident has not been revealed.

    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.
