Is the motor on these chipped?

Sounds like a half-baked idea to me

I love these 'made entirely from carrots' claims. They always end up as a tiny percentage of vegetables used with a load of other chemicals.

This is the first car to be made out of potatoes, this is on the basis that making cars out of potatoes is a dreadful idea.

Bit of topic, But this reminded me of an accident at work the other day, One stack collapsed and knocked over 15 40ft reefers each weighing 30tons and full of potatoes against the machine, (1 minute later the lorry turned up for his box and would of been under them all! )

 

You should of seen all the potatoes that fell out when they split open!, Just think of all the cars they could of made from them

Gawd - that's the sort of thing I have nightmares about when I ever consider shipping a car of mine around the world.

Same here, I've seen quite a few stacks go over now, My mate took one out a couple of years ago and one of the boxes alone had 2 Bentley Continental R's in!, Even remember someone telling me about one that got knocked off a while back that had a £1 million pounds one off Mercedes inside.

 

That's why you need insurance, Luckily there isn't that many accidents, but when there is they are often dramatic and costly!

 

This box fell of the ship and ended up floating up the River Orwell towards Ipswich before a tug fished it back, Luckily it only had bin bags in!.
