Russian Mechanic Vahan Mikaelyan has transformed a Lada 1600 into a flamethrower, 'the first of its kind' he says. The flamethrowers, which are positioned in the 1600's headlights, seem to be capable of spewing flames over 10 metres forward. The build appears to use an auxiliary pump to shoot ignited gasoline forward. Other builds of Mikaelyan include a monster truck on wagon wheels, and a vehicle that rides on eight legs.
We are reading this text as part of our one hour of reading per week. We have devised a new system for this term in which we read one news article of our choice then write a reflection section about it. This is the post that I picked; I found it in the motoring section of stuff.co.nz.
