This is old news ( 2011), but now that the warm weather is here and if anyone is thinking of doing something like this, beware.

NOOSA, Australia -- An Australian man caught driving a motorized cooler box through a beachside resort town appeared in court charged with drunk driving, The Courier Mail reported Monday.

Christopher Ian Petrie, 23, faces charges of driving under the influence and driving without a license after police caught him on the makeshift vehicle, which was powered by a 50cc engine.
At his first hearing on the matter Petrie and his attorneys appeared before a magistrate and requested an adjournment of the case to allow them to research whether or not the cooler box could be considered as a motor vehicle.  The amused magistrate granted the request for adjournment but also inquired to Petrie about the cooler’s performance asking, “”How much beer can it hold?”  In response, Petrie told the magistrate that the cooler could hold “at least a couple of cartons.”
