Driver filmed transporting large greenhouse on roof - and it's bigger than the car

A bold driver as been caught heading down a busy main road with a greenhouse attached to their car.

The motorist was captured on camera heading along a double-laned road in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

On top of the red Ford Fiesta's relatively small frame is a large greenhouse.

The plant growing appliance towers well above the road and several meters above the car.

Its base appears to be firmly lashed to the motor, Manchester Evening News reported.

The video inspired a mixture of distress and delight by those who viewed it on Facebook.

"That greenhouse should not have been on top of any cars at all police should have stopped the driver," Tarcye Burke wrote.

Steven Donalds saw the funny side however.

"£5 delivery? Jog on," he joked.

Craig Townsend wrote: "I think he got the wrong idea when he heard about cars trying to be more green."

Dave Sage said: "Finally we can visualise our greenhouse gases in action."

Thomas Lawley simply described the driver as a "legend" .
