Car-puccino: The car that runs on coffee

The DeLorean had a flux capacitor and the movie magic of Back To The Future, but a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco — a DeLorean look-alike — has been jerryrigged to run on roasted coffee for a British television program.

The Daily Mail reports on the latest alternate-fuel vehicle built by the team for the BBC’s Bang Goes The Theory, a cross between Myth Busters and American Chopper. The car’s maiden voyage will be a 210-mile trip between Manchester and London for a show that airs in Britain on May 3 (I’m looking for where you might find the episode online).
