The Chelfing website

Some people have way too much time on their hands.

Some clever chap has created a fictional car company, and the website is pulling more hits than a mafia movie.

Called 'Chelfing Automotive' the faux-car (Geddit? Faux-pas....Oh, never mind) site contains two 'new' models: the Razzle Sport, and the Lunge SUV.

The Razzle's catch-cry is its sporting credentials. We love the line: "The Razzle has the largest wing-mirrors in its class too, a sporty feature from a sporty company."

In this age of sexual equality, it has not only a driver's side airbag, but also a woman's side airbag. Smooth.

But wait! There's more.

"Special Offer! This month only, test drive a Razzle at any participating dealer, and get a free kitten. Kitten will be your faithful friend forever ! See participating dealer for information, or email us your name, address and contact email to mail@chelfing.com. Offer time limited, Chelfing reserves the right to substitute a cat for the kitten after certain timeframe."

Not to be outdone, the Lunge SUV, which looks an awful lot like a Ssangyong Musso Sports, has a dashboard that "features a unique granite finish." Safety is a prime concern too, though how safe we're not sure.

According to the website; "NCAP testing for Chelfing Lunge planned for late 2009 due to minor fatalities in 2007's programme. Wanted ! NCAP test drivers for Chelfing Automotive. Generous salary and helmet provided. Apply to personnel department at Chelfing HQ."

Yes, I've sent in my application. But only on the proviso that I get to keep the helmet. And a kitten.
