James Bond fan invents flame-throwing scooter




It is the ultimate road rage revenge vehicle - a scooter that fires 12ft flames. Colin Furze rigged his 60mph bike with a rear-facing flamethrower because he was fed up with drivers cutting him up.



It works by pressing a button on the handlebar. 'It's a lot of fun and firing the flames makes me feel like James Bond,' said the plumber, 30, from Stamford in Lincolnshire.

'The flames are pretty big and up to 15ft long so you could definitely set fire to someone's car if you wanted to.'

'The only problem is it can get rather hot if you are riding the moped and blast the flames when the wind is in the wrong direction.'
