Running On Empty

Replica Mustang Is Lager Than Life

Here’s a can-do story for you. Earlier this week, English student Jack Kirby, from Hertfordshire, drank 4000 cans of lager and used the empties to build a car. The life-size model 1965 Ford Mustang was finished yesterday after a three-year effort. The design student, 23, downed a Budweiser four-pack every day. "It was hard work," he said. After a pause to admire his handiwork, he said, "I think I'll have a couple of cans to celebrate."

FOOTNOTE: Was he Bud wiser?

And now he can drive it to his early grave for drinking that much beer. I once saw a ferrai made of wool that was cool, i might still be able to find the picture.

Made out of Budweiser cans, I gather: do him no harm at all apart from the frequent trips to the Gents.

Now if he'd tried making an Aston Martin out of Newcastle Brown bottles...

G'day Your Eminence,

Ah, I did chuckle at that. The red racers are Ferraris, named after Enzo Ferrari!
