We've had a look at MSN's list of crazy cars from around the world and picked out the 20 best ones from their list of 75. These are the ones we have selected for their uniqueness, creativity and inspiring/crazy images.

This car was built in 1966 and is supposed to give a brick effect, why? because that was what all the cool kids in the 60's were doing back then didn't you know?...
|
 |
Two vehicles welded together on opposite ends... because that's a practical idea.

Car constructor Edd China literally takes work home with him - in his office car, named "The Hot Desk". In 2003, he actually drove it 900 miles from London to Cannes for charity.

Who needs good old-fashioned 4x4 wheels when you've got these bad boys to carry you through deep snow? This is a Subaru Impreza STI rally car with caterpillar tracks. Thumbs up from us!

Only in America would a limousine and a all-wheel-drive pick-up be a combination worth thinking about, which is exactly what Paul Emery from Massachusetts thought to do. This particular combination was based on a 1981 Cadillac DeVille Limousine. Why not drive in style?!

It's like a lounge in a car! How awesome is that! This is one of Jay Ohrberg's creations.
|
 |
This three-seater three-wheeler was built in 1954 by Egon Bruetsch, he obviously needed room for more than two people on his travels! He certainly looks very happy in this picture! The lightweight plastic that the car was made from is actually starting to come into use for today's cars.

 |
This Hairy Car was photographed in Stuttgart, Germany. Unfortunately the hairy car look didn't catch on, I imagine it must be quite expensive to shampoo not to mention how long that would take to blow dry...
|
 |
Forget caravans, imagine being stuck behind this!!! a 17th century thatched cottage!!!
|
 |
I imagine this is quite hard to drive...and see.

Perry Watkins designed this car - dining table...we're not quite sure why, but it certainly gives a lasting impression. Pictured in August 2010, Perry would later attempt the record for the world's fastest furniture at Santa Pod raceway in Northamptonshire. The 'Stig' pictured here is actually a dummy and neither Perry or the original Stig from BBC's Top Gear.

This car was created and designed by William Burge of Houston, Texas. The machine was built from a 1968 Volkswagen beetle and is all different kinds of crazy, just look at those gargoyles! Not sure we'd be too happy driving with that on our tail on a cold dark night! The vehicle is aptly named "Phantoms" and could have been inspired by the gargoyle-spotted façade of a Gothic cathedral.

Why have we never thought about doing this before? A shoe.. that drives! Genius. Actually, I think crazy is probably the better word in this instance. This car was created in China and is an electrically powered one-off that when pushing pedal to the metal can do up to 30 kilometres an hour and travel 400 kilometres on a single charge.
|
 |
| And to top off this list we have another creation from Jay Ohrberg which was been created for The King himself, Elvis. Shame he would never get to witness this beaut created just for him. I'm sure he'd be impressed! |
