Skip Car

Introducing a cool car called the skip car. A skip that can go 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds...not bad!!!

WITH a £20,000 price tag and top speed of nearly 150mph, this is a skip with a difference.
In fact, the Skipcar, which was developed by Newport waste disposal company GD Environmental Services, is the fastest on earth after setting the first ever landspeed time for a skip.
The skipcar was built from a high-powered Subaru Impreza WRX Type R, and its vital statistics read like the most impressive top trump card in the pack.
A top speed of 147mph, 300 break horse power, 0- 60mph in 5.3 seconds and the handling of a rally car are enough to get most motoring enthusiasts excited.
And owner and driver James Norvill is celebrating after the four-wheel drive speed machine entered the record books on the weekend when it clocked 93mph on a 400m drag circuit in front of thousands of spectators.
GD Environmental managing director Mr Norvill, who took the wheel at the Flame and Thunder event at the Northampton-based Santa Pod circuit on Saturday, said he hoped the record was the first of many to come.


"It is great fun to drive and a great way to publicise the business. We've basically stripped a Subaru Impreza and used it with a standard eight-yard skip to create the skipcar.
"Hopefully we can try and go a bit faster in the future. Maybe we will fit some nitrous oxide to the back of it," he added.
The two-seater car was created in a month by a team of mechanics at a price of £20,000 after Mr Norvill purchased a second-hand Impreza. It weighs 1.1 tonnes and is made of lightweight lower gauge steel.
The company has a fleet of hundreds of skips, worth around £500 each, and provides waste management and drainage services to businesses around the UK. For more on the Skip Car, visit http://www.skipcar.co.uk

Cool Invisible Skoda

Heres one way of making a Skoda car cool..make it invisible using art. The 22-year-old student at the University of Central Lancashire spray painted a battered Skoda Fabia car to match the car park and entrance to her art studio. Her work, created as part of her drawing and image making course at the university, creates the illusion that the car is see through. She was given the car from a breakers yard and worked for three weeks to ensure that it blended perfectly with its surroundings. Cool or what!

Sara Watson took three weeks to transform the car

"I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact." said Miss Watson, who is from Ashton under Lyne.

"People have been stopping in the street to look and coming up and almost bumping into it, so it's had the desired effect."

The car is reminiscent of the work by pavement artist Julian Beever, whose attempts to trick people's minds into seeing perspective on the flat surfaces of paving stones.

Steve Jackson, owner of Recycling Lives, the firm that gave Miss Watson the car, said: "When I first saw the photos I was convinced it was something which had been done on the computer, but when you look more closely you see the effort and attention to detail she has put into it. It is just amazing."

Pink Bentley Vitesse - Not Cool!

How to spoil a cool Bentley car - simply get a pink paint job or vinyl wrap as these pictures show. This Mansory Vitesse shown at recent Frankfurt Motor Show has carbon fiber hood and trim, glossy black turbine type wheels and the tackiest pink interior which includes some ugly purple carbon fiber trim to polish off this disaster.

Here is Paris Hilton's Pink Bentley confirming how uncool this is.
