Whatever your thoughts on the Royal Family thereโs no denying old boy Prince Charles is doing his best to make a difference during the twilight of his life. The environmentally conscious Charles has dedicated his remaining years to help save the planet and is putting his money where is mouth is by revealing he owns a car that runs on wine.
Charles has converted his Aston Martin Volante, which he has had since he was 21, into a wine-guzzling eco-friendly vehicle. The car previously ran on petrol but Charles wanted an even better alternative.
Speaking with The Telegraph Charles said; โThey discovered they could run it on surplus English white wine, but also I hadnโt realised that they had mixed whey (the watery part of milk that remains after itโs been curdled) into it too. The engineers at Aston said, โOh, itโll ruin the whole thingโ. I said, โWell I wonโt drive it thenโ, so they got on with it and now they admit that it runs better and is more powerful on that fuel than it is on petrol. And also, it smells delicious as youโre driving along.โ
This isnโt the first time Charlie has found a different resource to fossil fuels, with the heir to the throne recently purchasing the Royal Familyโs first all-electric car, a Jaguar I-Pace which he jokingly proclaimed โsilent but deadlyโ on his first public outing.
