A-Team fan? Try not to turn green.
Tag Majid from Dudley has become the envy and role model of A-Team fans around the world. Mr Majid has spent an incredible £32 000 on converting his van into the iconic vehicle from the 80s show. He bought an old and bashed-up 1985 GMC Vandura Van and created the replica using spare parts found on the internet.
Majid wanted to make sure that every detail down to the wing mirror, wheels and even the aerial was exactly the same as on the original. He also added some new features, a 26-inch LCD TV, a DVD player and a sound system, to play the A-Team theme tune on loop. It blares out through a speaker behind the front grille.
We suspect he loves it when a plan comes together.

Sing-along trucks
These trucks take a break from the road to sing a message from the heart.

Intelligence or stupidity?
Motorists in White Lake, Michigan, have been completely baffled by a sign post with speed restriction information. The sign gives drivers minute-specific speed limit guidelines which alternate six times in the space of just two hours. The sign is designed to improve road safety by enforcing speed limits around the local school but residents and parents are not happy.
‘You practically have to stop to read it,’ said local resident Matt Smith. Other residents commented on the impracticality of the sign saying that it is ‘endangering all the kids in the school zone by making you take your eyes off the road to read it.’ Could this be an act of stupidity or an act of misguided intelligence? By all accounts the speed problem has been reduced as people now slow to read the sign. Either way, local officials have confirmed a meeting has been planned to discuss ways in which to make the system easier for drivers to understand.
We wish the residents of White Lake luck with their speed restriction enforcement.
The unluckiest parking spot
This unlucky motorist must have been walking under ladders, following black cats and stepping on the cracks in the pavement. It was almost certainly Friday 13th.
Spidercar
This may not be the most practical of vehicles for everyday driving, but it would definitely come in handy in a tight spot.
Have a great weekend everyone!

World’s coolest car storage
Volkswagen are the proud owners of the most amazing car show room in the world. The futuristic garages in Wolfsburg, Germany can hold up to 600 cars in the 200ft towers, making them the world’s largest vehicle delivery centre. The vehicle come along a conveyor belt from the factories and then a giant robotic arm lifts them into position in the tower.
New owners can watch as their car is picked up from a bay and delivered to them at the Autostadt CustomerCenter, with the speedometer at zero. As if this was not cool enough, the buildings were also featured in the latest Mission Impossible film staring Tom Cruise.
