A modified car designed to look like Thomas the Tank Engine has been pulled over by police near Leeds.
West Yorkshire Police road officers spotted the bizarre vehicle - believed to be a BMW - on the M1 southbound near Wetherby on Wednesday afternoon.
Despite its comic appearance, the stop was no laughing matter - as the driver has been reported for construction/use offences relating to the potentially unsafe design of the car.
The bonnet has been re-modelled to look like Thomas's boiler, while 'buffers' have been added to the bumper.

Somebody always has a bigger wiener than you.
But a mini-wiener?
That’s just rubbing it in.

He really went high tech and spared no expense with that 55 gallon barrel.
