Avoiding route

A truck driver is now regretting having trusted his satellite navigation system after having been stuck three times in a single day in the same village in Wales. The man was attempting to drive his delivery truck from Bangor to Aberystwyth. However he found the village of Beddgelert in Gwynedd a barrier to his journey, with the truck proving unable to negotiate a narrow bridge. Police managed to escort the red-faced driver and his over-sized vehicle to an alternative route.

Let’s go party

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. The vehicle is definitely not likely to be made road legal any time soon and nor is a model with a similar performance ever likely to be available from the original
