Cargo bike... for kids with attitude

a 12 year old in Mt Pleasant decided to restore a car for her 16th birthday... cool!

 her 16th birthday is in 2014

 Kathryn DiMaria was only 12 years old when she came to her parents with the idea to refurbish a Pontiac Fiero. The car hadn't been in production for 13 years when she was born, but after spotting it at local classic car show, she knew it was for her.

 The fact that the restoration would allow her to learn her car inside and out for several years before actually getting her driver's license seemed like solid reasoning to mom and dad. So using her babysitting money they bought a rough, but drivable 1986 Fiero for $450.

 Her dad hit the Internet message boards to brag about his 'cool daughter' and her story became a source of inspiration for other Fiero lovers. Even though the pair aren't asking for help, assistance from the community has been pouring in ever since that first post.

 Members have followed the 2 years of updates and pictures of progress and have helped with their advice and even a few tools and parts. For her 13th birthday members of the forum even sent her gifts just to be part of the build.

When the DiMarias had trouble with the bumper, a user named James Schultz sent them some parts from his side business Fiero Fiberglass.

Right now she's facing the biggest job yet, rebuilding a 3.4-liter Camaro engine to replace the 2.8-liter that came in the Fiero. Now 14, she is optimistic the car will be running by the time she reaches her 16th birthday in 2014.

NEWS: Skoda's Giant FREE Ice Cream Van

To celebrate the launch of the 'vRS Treatment' TV ad (see it on the Facebook page) – Skoda is sending a giant ice cream to popular UK beach resorts, to serve up 6,500 servings of (giant, FREE!) ice cream to Brits as it tours the UK over the kid's Summer holidays, starting this bank holiday weekend. 

Literally, cool!
The giant vRS ice cream van was launched at Great Yarmouth today, where local children tucked in to huge ice creams. Members of the public will have a chance to sample free ice creams as the giant ice cream van embarks on a national tour in the coming month.
To celebrate the launch of the Octavia vRS – the fastest ŠKODA ever – the company set a team of engineers the task of bringing the same qualities that go into the car to other everyday objects. The result is every child’s dream - a giant ice cream van complete with 5 foot monster truck wheels and four mega speakers.
The giant ice cream van, which measures over 21 feet, weighs in at a chunky 5.5 tonnes. It took the team of engineers over 3 weeks to create and stars in the new advert for the Octavia vRS, which hits TV screens on Sunday 25 August. The ice cream van features alongsideother souped-up versions of everyday gadgets including a giant toy ‘trike’, lawnmower with multiple exhaust pipes and flaming go-faster stripes, and the vRS Man-Pram.
Heidi Cartledge, Head of Marketing at ŠKODA UK comments: "The Octavia vRS is not your average family car, and so we created an ice cream van that is also far from average! The giant ice cream van will be touring the UK handing out up to 6,500 servings of free ice cream, offering members of the public a fun sense of what you could experience if you vRS’d your life."

The giant ice cream van will be visiting and serving free ice cream at:

• Bournemouth Air Festival - Thursday 29 August to Sunday 1 September
• Various ‘King of the Mountains’ stages at Tour of Britain. Dates TBC. For more information follow @SkodaUKCycling
• Royal County of Berkshire Show at Newbury - Saturday 21 September and Sunday 22 September

The new advert will feature in commercial breaks during the Premier league matches between Manchester United and Chelsea and between Cardiff City and Manchester City on Sky Sports. The advert will also appear on Channel 4 during the return of BAFTA nominated drama Top Boy as well as on Five during the final Ashes test between England and Australia.
ŠKODA are keen to hear from anyone with an everyday item that could benefit from being given the vRS treatment – check out the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/skoda or submit ideas via Twitter @SkodaUK #vRSUP
