Grampa Turns Electric Scooter Into Batmobile
But where's Robin gonna sit? "ON MY FACE!" You're nasty, Bat!
Seen here with so much future-tech nailed on it's hard to believe it's not a prop from The Dark Knight Rises, 74-year old great grampa Brian Vannlooks (yeah -- looks ridiculous driving that thing!) shows off his homemade Batmobile. In case you couldn't tell, there's actually an electric scooter beneath all that fancy shielding. And, quite possibly, an adult diaper.
He can be spotted riding the Batmobile, which has a top speed of 8mph, around the 'Batcave' - the sheltered housing complex where he lives in Evesham, Worcestershire.
'People drive past in their cars and stop when they see me, get out, and ask for a photo,' said the retired construction worker.'I feel like a bit of a celebrity. I know how the Beckhams must feel when I go out in my Batmobile.
I'm not gonna lie Brian, I am a little jelly. Not too bad like peanut butter & jelly jelly, more like jelly-filled donut hole jelly. "That's Bavarian creme." Yeah I know, but you get my point. "Which was...?" I can eat like sixty of those things. Even more if you keep the little milk cartons coming.

Thanks to Ashleigh, who agrees he's probably bangin' all kinda old ladies in the retirement village.

I've never owned a Razor scooter. I tried a friend's once but I fell off a curb and scraped my knees really bad. There was blood. Also: townspeople laughing. Now I live all alone in a bell tower, ashamed. I did make a zip-line though so that's pretty coo. Razor scooters w... / Continue →

Let's face it, golf courses aren't as safe as they used to be. So I'll be damned if I'm cruising around the links in an unprotected buggy. Thankfully, now there's the $45K Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (Atac). *thwack* Fore! GO GO GO!! It weighs just under half a tonne, has ... / Continue →
