This car was present at the international clubs' meeting in Finland in 2001, where the linked photo was taken by the Dutch Martin Hilvers.
The system on the trailer produces Methan, which is sucked by the engine. It uses a specially built carborettor instead of the original unit, as the Methan to Air mixture is around 1:1. The energy source comes from wood trash and other organic trash that the owner collects nears his house in the Finish country yard. This was an early version of the system, and as far as I know, it was further developed. Engine poewr is less than an ordinary 99 engine, but the car manages easily with Finish speed limits.
