Man creates twin-toilet car

Postby dutchman » Thu Jul 15, 2010 2:48 pm

A man has created a car featuring two toilets as its seats.

Dave Hersch of Colorado based the design on a Hot Wheels toy car, and the finished model can travel at 30mph with its 6.5hp engine. It also boasts a magazine rack and holder for six full toilet rolls.

Hersch told Rex Features: "The first version was literally a toilet on top of a go cart. It didn't last past the first turn. The toilet slid off and broke into a million pieces on the road. Porcelain is very fragile, I have learned.

"The second version was still a single toilet but had some features like a bolted down toilet, brakes, and a toilet seat. That version didn't make it past the first ride by my friend who flipped it and broke the toilet again."

He added: "Finally the current model was built to be foolproof. Adults take photos and kids jump up and down with excitement. It's a great way to meet all the people in my neighbourhood without all the typical grown-up formalities."

Is this guy "round the bend?"
Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
