Recycled Citro�n parts used to create fire-breathing robo dog

There's something about fire-breathing robots that just gets us giddy, so you can imagine our joy when finding one that gallops, too. The hand-built robot dog -- cutely coined LRRY-1 (pronounced Larry, we'll have you know) -- was built almost entirely from unwanted Citroën scraps, and not a single ounce of non-recycled material was used in the final construction. No idea if it's technically street legal, but we'd love to see a traffic warden try to get this thing back in its cage. Video is posted after the break.

Would be nice if the editors would rather link to youtube or something else but veoh.com when posting videos in articles, as they are blocking 165 countries from viewing.

Veoh has blocked Malaysia and I could not see the video.

It reminds me of the robot dog from FLCL that eats cars.

(FLCL= Furi Kuri= ふり くり)

Worth buying a car just to make this...

Imagine the sign at the gate of your house - "Beware of car...err, dog"

Did anyone else think that the guy in this video sounded like he didn't know how he made it?

I saw this thing parked up at Glastonbury festival this year, looked so awesome I couldn't stop checking it out. The guys who put it together (Mutoid Waste Company I think) also had a VW bug with jaws on the front that picked up a lady and drove off.

My girlfriend had to drag me off to watch some bands in the end...
