Perth Pair Hope To "Undertake" New Speed Record With A Motorised Coffin!
MADCAP car enthusiasts from my home town ... Allan Brand, 29 and Arthur Middleton, 43, are hoping to set a "brand" new (if somewhat unusual) world speed record - with a motorised iron casket they've constructed.
Fitted with an old Rover engine, using nitrous oxide [ laughing gas] fuel, the contraption is capable of doing 90mph and has been nicknamed ... 'The Grim Ripper' !

I've been 'out of town' in the mountains of ComVal province until now, so unable to respond.
Despite this being the 21st century and the time of limitless communications, I have to report this is not the case here. Sadly.
Also we have daily power outages of up to 4 hours.
I'm not complaining too much as life is still well worth missing the Internet and grid electricity.

Glad you've finally been able to see the link I posted, Peter; I had to burst out laughing at the registration plate COF 1N! Plus, of course, the skulls for headlamps.
Shame about the lack of decent internet facilities - as well as the~all~too~frequent brown-outs - that seems to be part & parcel of life in ComVal province ... as I'd also discovered for myself, during the 3 months I stayed in nearby Tagum City back in 2008.
Anyway, I'm pleased you're being "compensated" for those inconveniences through your enjoyment of the lifestyle in the 'Paradise Islands'.
