100% BS Approved: 2012 Video Highlight Reel From The Wild Postman Pat Kiddie Ride Drag Car! Insane!


100% BS Approved: 2012 Video Highlight Reel From The Wild Postman Pat Kiddie Ride Drag Car! Insane!

Back in September we introduced you to the awesome British creation that melded a custom chassis, hot little motor, and the body from a stationary kiddie ride into a drag racing machine. Tom Armitage and the rest of the lunatics that wrenched on, laughed over, and ultimately succeeded in building what has to be the smallest 13-second, 100mph drag car in the history of the sport put out a 2012 highlight reel video and it is 100% BS Approved! These guys had way too much fun in 2012 and this video serves as proof. You’ll see the little van ripping donuts, pulling wheelies, and you’ll also see it with the body up and making runs from both inside and outside of the car. The thing certainly seems to be darty, which is to be expected when the wheelbase can be measured with a tailor’s tape!

This is the first time we have seen footage of the, um, car(?) with the body up so we could get an idea of the driving position that the operator sits in and frankly, it isn’t as bad as I thought. It isn’t spacious or even comfy looking, but it doesn’t look like you’d need to be a circus performer to fit in it, either. We dig the fact that the dudes haul it around in a little box truck and that the van is short enough to fit lengthwise on the lift gate of said truck.

These dudes are having way too much fun and if we ever get to England, we want to take a squirt down the quarter mile in the van! We bet you do too!
