Free gin-and-tonics top Freddie’s Ashes rewards. 14/09/2005. ABC News Online

“What is most exciting about it is that I’ll be awarded the freedom of Preston [his home town in Lancashire, northern England],” he said.
“That means I can drive a flock of sheep through the town centre, drink for free in no less than 64 pubs and get a lift home with the police when I become inebriated.

What more needs to be said…
been a long few days and I am paying for it today. did yesterday too but about this time of day started getting a bit of energy and used it to add the last second floor joists into place and then put several 2×6x16s up as flooring. guess I am paying for that and the digging and moving of the other 2×6x16s from the other side to here by the trailer. counted 65 left before starting yesterday and still have 15 + left to move over here. should be enough to finish the building anyway.
having to use them for flooring as all the plywood is heading south or the contractors have bought it up and won’t sell it.
more when I have the energy.

Where was the picture taken?
And by whom?
Who built the one horsepower car?
Is there a link to another story about it that I am missing?
I expect better from Treehugger…
