However, he was undeterred by the doubters and began altering his dinky little ride into a mighty machine. He purchased the car at a bargain price of just $340 and when he started cutting up and recreating the vehicle he got a few raised eyebrows from some Ford Fiesta purists.
Naming the car ‘Big Pig’, after a scene from the film Babe, the little car is now a force to be reckoned with on the race track and can reach a phenomenal top speed of 159.7MPH.
