It’s not April Fools’ day, is it? No I thought not, so why would someone bother to send me the following press release, which I quote in full: “As we towel ourselves down from the wettest August on record, our minds turn to the jingling bells of Christmas. Handirack UK has the perfect answer to those common Chrimbo conundrums, like how to get the Christmas tree home or how to get all those presents to Granny’s. Simply attach the HandiRack INFLATABLE ROOF RACK and the HandiHoldall storage unit to avoid any tinsel related tantrums! The HandiRack is a unique, inflatable load-carrying roof rack system. It can be fitted in just a few minutes can be stored away discreetly in a drawstring bag. It’s perfect for those who enjoy the outdoor life, adventure sports and travelling.” I can just hear the anxious phone call. “Hello, is that the AA?….Yes, I’ve got a puncture in my roof rack….No, ROOF RACK….Pardon?….Near the back….Oh, sorry. Near Solihull….” Apparently the producers of Dragons’ Den are looking for some more money-making schemes to put before The Famous Five. I think I’ll dig out my marzipan body and liquorice engine. No scrapheap for my car. When it gets too old to drive I’ll eat it.

An eatable car Hmmmm, but only if the wheels are “Bishop’s Finger’ flavour.
nedrover | 01 Sep 08 - 9:35San Francisco based “XP Vehicles” have recently announced their development of an Inflatable Electric Car.
Of its many reported merits, the one which is most likely to endear it to UK motorists is that it will float in a flood! And if it were to be equipped with the HandiRack inflatable load-carrying roof rack system packing a small clip-on outboard motor (electric of course) it could still get you home!
And of course the entire package would be “perfect for those who enjoy the outdoor life, adventure sports and traveling”
