COFFEE CAR CREATED BY MARTIN, MATT and the BBC's "BANG GOES THE THEORY" TEAM

Late in 2009 in some sheds in Brighton Martin and Matt Bacon joined Jem Stansfield and Chris Hill (presenters for Bang Goes the Theory)to create the Coffee Racer - a car that runs on used coffee grounds as fuel.  In early March they completed a journey from London to Manchester in the car to launch this years "Bang Goes The Theory" series featured on BBC 1  - another eco-triumph for the Teesdale Conservation Volunteers!!  To see our Coffee Racer web-page - please click here (under construction)
