His family paid $695 to buy the machine - called a quad chiller - from Christchurch firm Elite Direct for his 50th birthday gift. It is powered by a 49cc four-stroke motor driving the rear wheels and it has disc brakes.
Mr Evans sells cars for Mark Cromie Holden, but he said he was not expecting chillers on wheels to join the line-up of cars on display at the company premises in Hannah St.
Nor was he expecting them to be on the firm's race team, although he was anticipating some high-revving antics in speed sprints against a couple of his friends who also own mobile coolers.
Mr Evans said his chilly bin held four dozen stubbies plus ice. He intended taking it to the family bach at Tapeka Pt, Russell, where it would ease the hard work involved in carrying beer 50m to the beach."
Went hunting for this article on the Internet after this morning's tail piece on the news was about a motorised chilly-bin owner/driver having been arrested for driving in a reckless manner and was subsequently found to be three times the legal alcohol limit!! Ha ha - and he had his incredibly flash chilly bin confiscated just to add insult to injury!
Dis al!
