I don't know many other children with real cars
0:07
It's incredible. Ipswich in the UK
0:18
Not the first location that springs to mind when you think of low riders
0:25
But this isn't your average low rider and sold isn't your average over

I'm Sol Archer and this is my lowrider Honda Civic EF. Sol's love of lowriders was inherited from his dad, Peter
0:44
The attraction of lowriders is just being different to bounce around in a display
0:50
That's what the draw is for me anyway. And this Honda was a father and son build
0:55
Sol's role in a design was build something that he could potentially
0:59
potentially drive so small and expensive. Sol's colourblind, so it was never about picking a colour as such
1:06
It was about making it pop, making it stand out. And it certainly does that
1:13
Today's event is the Ipswich Festival of Wheels. It's an all-encompassing car show
1:29
You can be driving it to the shops into town or you can be at a show like this
1:36
It always turns heads because of what it looks like. As soon as you start playing with the switches, I think it baffles people more than anything else
1:43
For Seoul being the only kid at the show with his own vehicle is pretty special I don know many other children with real cars and I think I lucky
1:55
It's not just somebody's kid at a show. He feels like he's part of everybody else
2:01
apart from not being able to drive it, but everybody else is driving around in cars and this is so-and-so's car and that's so-and-so's car
2:07
Now he's got that car for himself. Halfland don't believe me. Well, it is hard to believe
2:13
in there really. But they'll believe it when they see your driving it
2:17
that's the answer. My dad will usually drive it up to a show
2:23
and we will take out the switchbox and start playing with it until it breaks
2:30
The basic ones are front back. The side the seat saw. You turn them off. The car's totally rigid, no shocks
2:41
no springs so it's good for fast moves. And if you want to drive it, turn those accumulators on
2:47
and it's like an in-line shock absorber. You could always argue that Sol just gave me the opportunity
3:02
because I wanted to build something for somebody else. But CMM stood in front of a crowd of people
3:08
with that switchbox and smashing it around. I get flashbacks of me being that kid who was new to low riding, smashing a car about
3:17
in front of all these old timers, it's great. So, Sol, what's it like
3:25
Owning a unique custom car, six years before you're legally able to drive
