This is one car that will turn heads on the road, as it looks to be more at home in a fairground

69-year-old Tom Evans from Glasgow used to run a fun fair before handing the reins of the
0:15
business over to his son. But when he spotted a Dodgham car on an auction site, he couldn't resist the momentum
0:22
The reason I wanted it because it looks like a dodging car and that's what our family runs
0:29
so I could not pass it up. It was advertising for sale and thought, oh, very nice, you know
0:43
And we kept looking for a couple of days, then all of a sudden it went off and thought
0:47
oh, somebody must have bought it. In fact, Tom's wife had bought the Dodger car without him knowing and surprised him with his bumper gift for Christmas in 2013
0:58
The two boys and my wife went down to North Island and haggled with a man that had it, agreed the price at home
1:04
It was stored for about four months, five months before Christmas. Obviously, I didn't get it till Christmas
1:12
It been neglected over the years and when we got it couldn use it on the road because it wasn tested I had a hand brake but no footbreak And the lights didn work and things like that So we took it into the place in Glasgow and they went through it
1:24
They had it for months because trying to find the parts. The street legal bumper car has all the necessary paperwork and fittings for the road
1:34
It can run up to 75 miles per hour, has indicator lights, a petrol gauge
1:38
and turns heads wherever it goes, including the police. We've been on the road about five minutes and we got to stop by the police
1:46
And they wanted to know what the hell is it? And we had to take the documents down to the police station
1:52
And they all came out to the police station and to have a look. And they thought, this is unbelievable
2:01
Very clever. What a great novel idea, eh? Have a dodging on the high street
2:06
It's quite cool because the guns in here are not as usual in the normal car
2:12
But this is one bumper. that Tom hopes won't be in a bust up
2:16
You'll never see another one like it, I don't know. People see it and they do stop
2:21
What the hell is that? Because it is an eye-catcher. And it's a good one
