Stunned police in Germany were left speechless after stopping a group of apparently drunk revellers cruising around town in a custom-built swimming pool car.
Officers spotted the unusual vehicle as it sped through the town of Eibenstock near Chemnitz, southern Saxony, at the weekend.
'I saw the strangest-looking convertible I have ever seen' said one officer.
'[It was] a roofless BMW, without registration plates, bordered around the open top with wooden boards and fake plastic flowers. It was also full of water.'
Police say the young men hollowed out, sealed and waterproofed the inside of the vehicle before filling it with water.
They were forced to abandoned their DIY creation however after deciding to make a getaway, fleeing across a nearby dry riverbed.
The apparently intoxicated driver later returned to the car and was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and of driving an uninsured, unregistered vehicle.
