Meet the people who built Austin Powers’ Shagmobile
If you love classic cars, is there a better job in the world than working for these guys? We doubt it.

Five to air documentary about men who love their cars
We feel a little bit sick now. We love old VW Beetles, but not in that way.
This is a clip from My Car is My Lover, a documentary about mechaphiles, or men who have loving relationships with their cars - and yes, it is for real. It’ll be shown soon on Five, although we don’t have a specific air date yet.
Unmissable TV, wethinks.
More video weirdness after the break…

The classiest VW Beetle you’ve ever seen
Hmm, we don’t know where to begin describing the paint job on the bonnet (or “hood” if you’re one of our American cousins) of this VW Beetle, or VWgina – just don’t stare at it too long, that’s our best advice. It must be a “Brazilian” model (ho ho ho).
