The Ford Mustang is a long-standing figure at dragstrips not just across America, but all over the world. Across the pond in the U.K there are plenty of Mustangs owned by enthusiasts and ex-pats that regularly race at local drag strips. What you may not expect to see is the toy car that is about to embarrass a Mustang at the drag strip. But the Brits have quite the sense of humor, and one team of limeys decided to take a miniature Postman Pat toy van, stuff it with a 500cc engine, and use it to embarrass the competition into submission. You’ve got to see this video.

Never heard of Postman Pat? Us neither. According to Wikipedia it is a popular children’s cartoon show following the “adventures” of Pat Clifton and his cat, Jess, as they deliver mail and solve villagers problems. It’s aimed at pre-school kids, and has been on the air since 1981, spawning spin-offs and childrens toys.

What was once a children’s coin-operated riding machine was bought for 250 pounds to become a drag car. All the fabrication was done by Tom Armitage and Dave Taylor, according to their website, and the bodywork was done by Ian Armitage. Powered by a 4-stroke, 500cc engine, the little drag racer sports a six-speed manual transmission and wheelie bars to keep it from tipping backwards.

Yes, it’s a child’s toy with wheelie bars. Wild, right? You have to feel bad for the guy in the Mustang, because either he has heard of the world’s fastest Postman Pat van and knows what he’s in for, or he hasn’t heard of it, and doesn’t know what’s about to happen. The Postman Pat rips off a 12.5 in the quarter mile at 96 mph, beating the Mustang by a solid two-seconds.

That’s gotta hurt, but it’s also undeniably hilarious. Cheers mates.
