Opel driver uses trolley to replace a whole wheel, ingenuity praised by Mzansi
Earlier, Briefly News reported that just when you think Mzansi has done it all, a video of an Opel doing the most goes viral. The driver of the sedan seemed to have replaced his missing tyre with the bottom half of a platform trolley.
This is most definitely not roadworthy but it seems to work for the owner of the vehicle. The Cape Town number plate on the car resulted in a few hilarious responses. @NalaThokozane shared a 19-second clip of the vehicle driving on a busy road.
The fact that the driver comfortably went on his day with such a scary tyre replacement makes for a funny bone tickling clip.
