One lucky shagger, someone quick call the health & safety crowd and put a stop to this because 11 year olds shouldnt drive cars, because I didn't get to drive any when I was 11 and therefore I'm jealous.

Its hardly a Veyron though is it. Barely qualifies as a car IMO.

They could make a trailer for it but the 11 year old would need his E+B license

If you still shopping at Tesco you don't need something that efficient to get around

That's not a car

Most of us were on our bikes by the time we were 2

I read the title as 1325mph car :eek:

Also, using an 11 year old girl to save weight and turnong off the engine to coast seems like cheating to me!

But did it have a diesel engine?

It's another one of those ancient perpetual motion scams. There's probably pedals and a crank in there somewhere.

Who cares??

Its a pretty funky design that would only suit an eleven year old, i was thinkin "i want of one of those" till i seen the design, i saw somethin similar around carlow town before with an old fella sitting proud as punch in it with helmet and all, and here i thought he was pedaling to his hearts content!

i hope that's really slow as it looks decidedly flimsy and unsafe

Coasting....a fail in the driving test

I'd say it is a car though
