A grandfather, Terry Waldron, transformed a mobility scooter into a race car for his granddaughter, Ella, spending 300 hours on the project. He completed it in 2016 after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease, which motivated him to finish before his condition worsened. The unique car, inspired by classic designs, features an old PlayStation controller for steering and a custom license plate with Ella's initials. Terry managed to create the car for just £95 by collecting donated parts and using leftover materials. Ella, who was five at the time, expressed her excitement about the car, saying it was "really cool" and that she loved driving it.
