"This modification is a safety feature for pedestrians. The propeller is running in reverse when the car is at a low speed, so if a pedestrian steps out into the road without checking first the wind generated by the fan should blow them out of the way before my car hits them".

And of course that enhances the cars braking ability and thus reduces the insurance premiums. Not many cars around with auxiliary air brakes other than my pet Bloodhound!

Comes up as a Cougar,
MOT expired
SORNed.

I just DDG'd Cougar and was a little surprised at the result. Are you sure that you don't mean "Porned"

[Hell Razor5543]

"Meanwhile, once I am at motorway speeds the propeller is allowed to turn with the wind (as opposed to against it at low speeds), and because of the design of the motor used, when it is being turned by the propeller it generates electricity (meaning it is now a wind turbine) which is then fed into the auxiliary batteries I have fitted, to recharge them (oh, did I mention I have converted the Ford Cougar into a hybrid?), so making the car into one of the 'greenest' on the roads".

Excellent work James, but are you sure there are no grey areas?

Can I gently entertain and amuse with this little bit of trivia

What do the cars in the picture have in common.

Not much of a headscratcher but the story is in the spoiler

What I want to know is: If both disabled people are at home do they close the road?

That reminds me of some of these stair designs

[mickthemaverick]

I can believe architects would design some of those examples - I just can't believe chippy's/brickies/fitters would build them!!

[Zelandeth]

My guess would be that there used to be a door there which has since been blocked off... removing the stairs would be expensive!

On a staircases theme, there are some quite magnificent ones in this gallery from National Greographic
