Old tyres can be turned...

Old tyres can be turned into ink for computer printers! So say three inventors from Matlock, Derbyshire, who have worked out how to extract the ingredient which makes the rubber black. They say they can reclaim the valuable carbon after the tread has become illegal for road use. It can then be used to refill inkjet printer cartridges.

And with temperatures on the frozen Swedish lake plunging below -10oC, it"s no wonder the test driver decided to keep the fabric roof firmly closed. But despite this, it"s still possible to see how the heavily disguised prototype is shaping up. Although the car will have broadly the same look as the four-door saloon, changes have been made to the proportion and size of the body to make the most of the new design.

Created in only three months, the convertible is fitted with a three-part folding metal roof that stows neatly in the boot. The trio of panels all stack on top of each other, which means that owners can still enjoy a reasonable amount of boot space. In addition, the rear passenger windows have been made larger - which allows more light into the cabin.

There are currently no plans for production, but Valmet told us if Audi was interested, it would look at developing the roof for a showroom model. Mean-while, the company is said to be working on future projects for Saab, Chrysler and Vauxhall/Opel.
