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."
