Awesome! Back in the day in Blighty, a cheap trick we used to do to our cars (before I could afford a decent car that would ignite fuel on the overrun properly a la V8) was to drill a hole in the exhaust can and mount a spark plug, then wire it up to a switch on the dash. Coupled with a bit of rich fuelling you could get some awesome flames flying out the back! Don't reckon that would pass a WOF though...

Flame thrower on a BMX and then on a scooter - couldn't he find something cooler to strap that flame thrower on?

Update:........

An English man who created an anti-tailgating flame-throwing device for his scooter has been arrested. Lincolnshire plumber Colin Furze's modified scooter, which threw out flames with a flick of a switch, was shown in a press feature last week. When police spotted Furze riding his scooter on a public highway, they arrested him, the Sunday Telegraph reported. Furze was detained on possessing an object converted into a firearm before being released on bail without charge until May 6, pending police investigation. Possession of a firearm can carry a maximum prison sentence of five to seven years. Furze declined comment, the newspaper said.

Geeezus, talk about overkill of charges there.

"Object converted into a firearm".....pretty damn mis-leading that one.

That is the mentality of policing in the UK...

In an email from Colin.
>>it's all gone very wrong this end<<
I yanked the interview I had posted because he asked me to.

It's kind of like the Carver Conundrum.

Nobody in their right mind would consider it any more than the jape it is.
But 2010 you have to allow that not everyone is in their right mind I guess.

Shame, because some of his stuff is a crack up.
