http://geeks.thedailywh.at/2012/02/10/car-with-a-wood-burning-stove-of-the-day/ Car With a Wood-Burning Stove of the Day: A Swiss Volvo owner named Pascal Prokop has taken the concept of “heated seats” to the extreme, replacing the passenger seat of his Volvo 240 station wagon with a wood-burning stove. The stove vents through a chimney sticking out of the roof, and the whole thing has been approved by the Swiss technical inspection authority. It probably warms up the interior more quickly than the car’s built-in heating system, and passenger seats are overrated anyway.
If you're sitting in the right rear, make sure you are belted in tight in case of a front-end accident.
What kind of standards did the "Swiss technical inspection authority" use... Hmm, let's see.. he's not running with scissors so it must be safe!
So it passed emisons and the driver can see what's on his right? No wonder Swiss cheeze is full of holes! I'm with dewey. It would make a great fishin shack. But at least it's a wagon.
Seriously? I burn wood for heat in the house. How can building a fire and dicking around with getting it going be faster than the factory heat? It also takes quite some time for the heat of the fire to saturate the steel and start to spread into the surrounding area. Also I wonder how much the weight of that woodstove costs him in gas mileage? And if you get in an accident and knocked sideways, even if you don't get hurt by the steel you'd get some pretty serious burns. At first I thought he might have converted the engine to run on woodgas. At least that would be something worthwhile to do with having a woodstove in the car.
Wow - what's next? Transporting an uncaged tiger in the wagon along with his collection of knives and swords?
Yeah, whats the problem with that? it's allwready been approved by the Swiss technical inspection authority!! Wagon or not, how the ....., what the ....., ???????????????? Must be great on a date, you dar een da bak, trow anoder log on der fire ya........ I'm guessing the price of a new heater core in Sweden makes this WTF job lot cheaper
