What did the Man who towed a 50ft Christ mas tree with tiny electric car create?”
With such a tiny car, it’s an exercise in logistics for Greig Howe to get any Christmas tree home. So he thought he might as well get this 50ft one, and attach a trailer to his G-Wiz electric car to tow it. Donated by the Forestry Commission, the £400 tree was taken 15 miles from the New Forest to skate park designer Mr Howe’s six-bedroom home in Bournemouth, Dorset There, it was cut into three carefully measured sections to create a Christmas illusion that has passersby in the street doing double takes. With a little help from Mr Howe’s friends, the lower parts of the tree were passed through doors and windows. Finally a borrowed crane was used to place the top tier on to a little roof turret. With careful alignment, the Howe Christmas tree appears to be bursting through the roof. It is the second year running Mr Howe has staged the trick. Last year he cut the tree up immediately after it was chopped down. This Christmas he decided to tow it home in one piece so he could drive it past
