Is it true that the motorists make better stories than their motors? Here are 3 stories to help make your own decision. Henry Ford built the Quadricycle In 1896, the great inventive engineer Henry Ford finished building his first car, called the Quadricycle, in a small shed behind his house. He became one of the world's most successful businessmen later--but this time he had badly miscalculated. The completed Quadricycle wouldn't fit out through the door. He'd built it bigger than the width of the door. Henry had to use an axe to chop out the doorframe to make the opening wider. Then he could ultimately get his pioneering creation out for its first drive. It is now an exhibit in Henry Ford Museum. Noel Gallagher forgot buying a car Millionaire rock star Noel Gallagher forgot he'd bought a brand-new classic car for £110,000. The former guitarist was puzzled when a Jaguar Mark Il arrived at his house on a delivery truck. It turned out he had ordered it two years previously. At the time he ordered it he had hoped to learn to drive--but never got round it. He forgot the whole thing, and the car still sits unused in his garage. Maria Mugno made her car hairy According to the Guinness Book of Records, the world’s hairiest car is a Fiat 50 owned by Maria Mugno of Salerno in Italy. The Italian hairdresser has spent hundreds of hours importing bags of human hair from India, because she claims the hair is stronger. She then sticks the locks onto every surface of the car, inside and out. Her furry Fiat is still road-illegal however. ( )1.
