World's Smallest Car - Postman Pat by Perry Watkins

Perry Watkins took the frame of the "Postman Pat" children's ride in the UK and mounted it on a quad mini-bike, using its 150cc engine. The car has a windshield wiper, lights and signals, mirrors, fire paint job, fake racing exhaust pipes and engine blower. It can hit a top speed of 40 MPH, it is now legal to drive on the road and has received confirmation that his creation - only 39in high and 26in wide - is the smallest car ever built. Also world's most expensive chiropractor bill.

Burberry Gets a Black Eye by Chavs in the UK.

Some time ago I posted my first Burberry Art Car, but last night I discovered that this was just the tip of the British iceberg. In the UK Chavs is a phenomenon, youths of ill-repute, often football hooligans, who dress in designer brands, and Burberry being the particular brand of choice. According to a BBC article, the Burberry brand became a victim of its own success when Chavs co-opted the brand and now is associated with people who do bad stuff and many even think that Burberry is be worn by the person who mugged them. Fortunately sales of Burberry outside the UK did very well in spite of the "Chav" stigma.

So for your Art Car pleasure I present the most complete line up of Burberry art cars and other Berberry gear associated with the "chav" lifestyle now in full swing in the UK.
