Grandad Drives 'Lady Penelope' Around In His Rolls Royce Scooter

A grandad who is obsessed with Thunderbirds has built his own version of Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce, complete with a homemade doll in the back seat. Brian Vann spent three months converting his 10mph scooter using wood and tin foil to make it look exactly like the pink roller from the hit 60s show.

He now travels from his sheltered housing complex to the shops dressed as chauffeur Parker with a model of Lady Penelope in the back seat. Brian began the project after his wife Mary died in September last year, so he could drive in a cancer charity run.

Kind of cool but it's kind of weird too. I don't know how I would react to someone pulling up to a drive-thru in that!

Interesting, it would be cool if he used it only on fundraising occasions - But it seems weird to use it more than just for that? But then again who am I to talk..... :<
