Wacky inventor converts fairground bumper car into an ACTUAL car

Here's one way to avoid bumper-to-bumper traffic. Inventor Mark Harper simply glides along the pavements of Tamworth, Staffordshire, in a converted dodgem. The 46-year-old is now an attraction in his home town as he uses the old fairground ride to do his high street shopping. He bought the theme park vehicle on eBay for £400 and spent almost £2,500 kitting it out with a mobility scooter engine, caravan battery, LED lights and sound system. The bumper car – which is not used on the roads so doesn’t need a licence – can reach a top speed of 8mph. Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
