WHAT A CAR!
Will it be the car of the Future?
The BBC's John Maguire is given a tour of the methane-powered car by developer Mohammed Saddid
A "poo-powered" VW Beetle was taken to the streets of Bristol in an attempt to encourage sustainable motoring.
The Bio-Bug runs on processed methane gas generated as part of the raw sewage treatment process.
Engineers from Wessex Water estimate the waste from 70 homes would generate enough gas to run the car for 10,000 miles (16,100km).
Despite being powered by fuel created from sewage, the car does not smell unpleasant.
"It performs like a normal car - you wouldn't know it was powered by biogas," a company spokesman said.
