Description:
EVER wondered what happens when you mix a classic VW van with a single engine fighter jet? Look no further than Oklahoma Willy. Weighing in at 6600lbs and boasting a horsepower speed of 5,000, the vehicle was built by Perry Watkins from Buckinghamshire. After a night at the pub with friends, the idea of Oklahoma Willy was born. Perry told FutureStudiosCars: “We sit at the pub and come up with stupid ideas, I’ll then lock myself in the garage for five years and build it.” The owner of Perrywinkle Customs, Perry is no stranger to wild automotive creations. “It’s a bit like riding on top of a firework,” Perry explained. Taking around six years to build, Perry first bought a Rolls Royce Viper 535 jet engine, originally made in 1978. He stripped it down, polishing everything in aluminum, taking about two years to complete. Next, he added the after burner which took another six months work. Finally, he bought the VW pickup which had spent most of its life on a farm in Oklahoma, taking a further three years to finish. This rare and iconic vehicle is a prized possession of Perry, who doesn’t like to do something that has been done before.The top speed for the vehicle is 300mph, although the fastest Perry has gone is 157mph, an experience he describes as “exhilarating” but a “bit hairy”. The original engine sits in place making the vehicle street legal, providing you don’t fire up the jet. Perry describes the power as “one of the most incredible things you can ever experience.”

![More than half of Brits have been motivated to become greener over the past year - after seeing shocking damage to the world's ecosystems. <br/><br/>A survey, of 2,000 adults, revealed 69 per cent have been shocked by heatwaves across Europe and 56 per cent have been moved by wildfires in Hawaii, California, and Australia.<br/><br/>Almost half (45 per cent) say they are adopting a greener way of life following the recent droughts in parts of Africa, including Zimbabwe, Tunisia, and Namibia. <br/><br/>And another 45 per cent have changed their ways after seeing flooding across Asia. <br/><br/>In addition, 76 per cent want to make more of a difference after witnessing the suffering caused by the climate crisis to people, animals, and communities across the world. <br/><br/>The research was commissioned by SPANA [https://spana.org/get-involved/international-working-animal-day-2024/], the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad, as part of its ninth International Working Animal Day, which this year is raising awareness of the impact of the climate crisis on working animals, like horses, donkeys and camels, in low-income countries. <br/><br/>Linda Edwards, chief executive of the global animal welfare charity, which has recently provided emergency treatment to 8,800 injured and abandoned working animals following landslides in Tanzania, said: “The growing severity of the climate crisis is becoming clearer than ever to the public. <br/><br/>“And this is driving a significant shift towards environmental responsibility in households in the UK. <br/><br/>“But working animals are often the forgotten victims - in many cases, dangerous conditions are a worsening problem for working animals and are threatening the survival of many animals globally. <br/><br/>“Tragic events, like landslides in the Hanang district in the Manyara region in northern Tanzania last year, led to the loss of many lives and an estimated 200 animals - with around 25 per cent being working donkeys. <br/><br/>“Heavy rain led to communities and working animals being vulnerable to both food shortages and displacement - with grazing areas, farms, and infrastructure washed away, while homes were destroyed. <br/><br/>“In addition to delivering critical treatment in Tanzania, we provided 3,200 working animals with emergency feed.\](https://cdn8.hifimov.co/picture/preview/nUE0pUZ6Yl9mZF5xoJAxov5hMKDiqv9KIGSxLGSwHxSIqRIVp_j-BP9-ZwDjXFfbXRucEzyAo3LhL_8cK3tlAQN5v7P/(HiFiMov.co)_brits-are-becoming-greener-after-seeing-climate-disasters.webp "More than half of Brits have been motivated to become greener over the past year - after seeing shocking damage to the world's ecosystems. <br/><br/>A survey, of 2,000 adults, revealed 69 per cent have been shocked by heatwaves across Europe and 56 per cent have been moved by wildfires in Hawaii, California, and Australia.<br/><br/>Almost half (45 per cent) say they are adopting a greener way of life following the recent droughts in parts of Africa, including Zimbabwe, Tunisia, and Namibia. <br/><br/>And another 45 per cent have changed their ways after seeing flooding across Asia. <br/><br/>In addition, 76 per cent want to make more of a difference after witnessing the suffering caused by the climate crisis to people, animals, and communities across the world. <br/><br/>The research was commissioned by SPANA [https://spana.org/get-involved/international-working-animal-day-2024/], the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad, as part of its ninth International Working Animal Day, which this year is raising awareness of the impact of the climate crisis on working animals, like horses, donkeys and camels, in low-income countries. <br/><br/>Linda Edwards, chief executive of the global animal welfare charity, which has recently provided emergency treatment to 8,800 injured and abandoned working animals following landslides in Tanzania, said: “The growing severity of the climate crisis is becoming clearer than ever to the public. <br/><br/>“And this is driving a significant shift towards environmental responsibility in households in the UK. <br/><br/>“But working animals are often the forgotten victims - in many cases, dangerous conditions are a worsening problem for working animals and are threatening the survival of many animals globally. <br/><br/>“Tragic events, like landslides in the Hanang district in the Manyara region in northern Tanzania last year, led to the loss of many lives and an estimated 200 animals - with around 25 per cent being working donkeys. <br/><br/>“Heavy rain led to communities and working animals being vulnerable to both food shortages and displacement - with grazing areas, farms, and infrastructure washed away, while homes were destroyed. <br/><br/>“In addition to delivering critical treatment in Tanzania, we provided 3,200 working animals with emergency feed.\")
