Remember you saw it here first. After my exclusive, well ish, report last week on the dangers of being mown down by a grass covered car, Ford has unveiled plans to build models out of hemp matting.
Defra, Ford and Hempcore Ltd will put £500,000 into developing the first totally recyclable Rangoon car.
Hemp-based materials will replace panels and be moulded into shape.
Not that this is totally new to Ford. Henry Ford grew cannabis as part of experiments into bio-fuels in the 1930s.
Obviously Golden Gordon, Laird of Glen Britain, will be keen to lay down the law. They may be hemp cars but it will be illegal to smoke them.
