    Man Stranded In Desert Turns Broken Down Car Into Motorbike
    A Frenchman has found fame 20 years after pulling off a remarkable escape from the Moroccan desert - by building a motorcycle using parts from his crashed car.

    In 1993 Emile Leray, then a 43-year-old retired electrician, decided to drive his Citroen 2CV from the Moroccan city of Tan Ta across the desert.

    However, along the way he was stopped at a military outpost and was informed that he couldn't go any further.

    Faced with prospect of returning to Tan Ta, Emile decided instead to go off road to navigate around the restricted area.

    But, unfortunately for him, the rocky and bumpy terrain soon caused problems and he lost control of his car before crashing into a rock.

    The impact caused the Citroen's swing arm and wheel axle to snap - leaving the car undrivable.

    With the nearest village at least 20 miles away, Emile didn't feel he would be able to make it on foot.

    Luckily, he had a small cache of supplies, water for several days and a few tools, including a hacksaw.

    After considering his options, Emile decided that his best course of action was to use parts from his car to create a makeshift motorbike.

    He started by removing the Citroen's body, which he then used as a shelter to sleep under.

    To build the bike he shortened the car's chassis before reattaching the axles and two of the wheels, as well as installing the engine and gearbox in the middle.

    He had thought that it would take him just a few days to construct the motorcycle, but in the end it took 12.

    Eventually, however, it was complete and, with just half-a-litre of water left, Emile started his ride back to civilisation.

    The going was easy and he regularly fell off the seat, which was made from part of the car's rear bumper.

    After a day of riding Emile was picked...

    The sports car bread van that can do 180mph, Italy - 21 Jul 2009
    THE BREAD VAN THAT CAN DO 180MPH

    Two friends have crossed a Citreon 2CV with a Ferrari - and produced a bread van which can do a staggering 180mph.

    The bizarre hybrid took the pair five years and cost more than GBP 150,000 to put together.

    They took the chassis and engine of a speedy Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and combined it with the body of a 12bhp Citroen 2CV Fourgonnette bread-van.

    To finish it off they gave the 2CV's ageing white body a glossy Ferrari red paint job.

    And they slapped a yellow shield logo, very like the iconic Ferrari prancing pony motif, on the front above the famous Citroen double chevron emblem.

    The result of their efforts is a stunning vehicle that churns out almost 400bhp and can hurtle from 0 to 60mph in less than five seconds.

    The car was put together by Nicolo Lamberti, 35, and Milko Dalla Costa, 51, who run the Italian 'Nimik' rally team.

    Nicolo said they found the Ferrari at an 'interesting price' and decided to modify it.

    They had the idea to combine it with the 2CV after seeing it abandoned in the back of a garage in Turate, in Northern Italy.

    He said: "We decided to purchase the Ferrari even though we didn't know what we were going to do with it.

    "But because of our crazy minds we were confident that an idea would soon come to us.

    "Then we saw the 2CV and Milko, who is a Citroen collector, had the idea of combining its body shell with the Ferrari.

    "The 2CV hardly cost anything because it was in such bad condition. It had no engine and all that was left was the body shell."

    The team at Nimik modified and widened the 2CV's body, and added a giant air vent to either side.

    They mounted the Ferrari's huge V8 engine in the middle of the rear wheel drive car,...

    The sports car bread van that can do 180mph, Italy - 21 Jul 2009
    THE BREAD VAN THAT CAN DO 180MPH

    Two friends have crossed a Citreon 2CV with a Ferrari - and produced a bread van which can do a staggering 180mph.

    The bizarre hybrid took the pair five years and cost more than GBP 150,000 to put together.

    They took the chassis and engine of a speedy Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and combined it with the body of a 12bhp Citroen 2CV Fourgonnette bread-van.

    To finish it off they gave the 2CV's ageing white body a glossy Ferrari red paint job.

    And they slapped a yellow shield logo, very like the iconic Ferrari prancing pony motif, on the front above the famous Citroen double chevron emblem.

    The result of their efforts is a stunning vehicle that churns out almost 400bhp and can hurtle from 0 to 60mph in less than five seconds.

    Two friends have crossed a Citreon 2CV with a Ferrari - and produced a bread van which can do a staggering 180mph.

    The bizarre hybrid took the pair five years and cost more than GBP 150,000 to put together.

    They took the chassis and engine of a speedy Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and combined it with the body of a 12bhp Citroen 2CV Fourgonnette bread-van.

    To finish it off they gave the 2CV's ageing white body a glossy Ferrari red paint job.

    And they slapped a yellow shield logo, very like the iconic Ferrari prancing pony motif, on the front above the famous Citroen double chevron emblem.

    The result of their efforts is a stunning vehicle that churns out almost 400bhp and can hurtle from 0 to 60mph in less than five seconds.

    The car was put together by Nicolo Lamberti, 35, and Milko Dalla Costa, 51, who run the Italian 'Nimik' rally team.

    Nicolo said they found the Ferrari at an 'interesting price' and decided to modify it.

    They had the idea to combine it with the 2CV after seeing it abandoned in the back of a garage in Turate, in Northern Italy.

    He said: "We decided to purchase the Ferrari even though we didn't know what we were going to do with it.

    "But because of our crazy minds we were confident that an idea would soon come to us.

    "Then we saw the 2CV and Milko, who is a Citroen collector, had the idea of combining its body shell with the Ferrari.

    "The 2CV hardly cost anything because it was in such bad condition. It had no engine and all that was left was the body shell."

    The team at Nimik modified and widened the 2CV's body, and added a giant air vent to either side.

    They mounted the Ferrari's huge V8 engine in the middle of the rear wheel drive car,...
