Dartford chauffeur Justin Scrutton turns Volkswagen Golf into ultimate dog car

A Dartford chauffeur has transformed his car into a massive dog.

Justin Scrutton, from Stone, covered his old black Volkswagen Golf with a material that looks like fur for his dogs Cenzo, a Doberman, and Lola, a Dogue De Bordeaux a year ago.

The canine cruiser cost an estimated £180 to transform after Justin bought 10 metres of teddy bear material and applied it to his car with 12 cans of adhesive glue spray.

Justin, who works self-employed at Justin Time Travel, says the idea came to him in his sleep one night and although he knows other people have done something similar, he thought it was a fun idea to do.

The chauffeur currently owns threes cars and uses the dog themed vehicle as his personal car for taking pooches Cenzo and Lola around Dartford and on walks.

He thinks the pair are fans of the new look, saying: "I'm sure they know it's different, they seem to like it, they were running up to it and sniffing it when I had it done."

Next up in a list of changes for the car is the possible addition of some ears, which Justin is keen to add. However, he's not quite figured out what material he wants to use to make the ears, or when he's going to make the alterations.

The 46 year-old has been overwhelmed with the positive response he's received from the public, claiming he's surprisingly not had any negative comments.

He said: "If I can make one person smile or laugh then its a job well done. We need to take time out our day to laugh and joke."

His Volkswagen Golf cost him only £200 because it came with a lot of problems and needed a lot of work. However, the personal pooch car gave Justin a break from the flashier cars he drives for his chauffeur service and he admitted that it's a nice change.

Justin runs his own Facebook page called the Dartford Dog Car, which currently has over 250 members, where he asks members of the public to send in their pictures or videos of his car and dogs.
