A West Yorkshire man has revealed the unusual way he has spent lockdown in his garden pub shed - creating amazing vehicles out of Coca-Cola cans.

Lindsay Kirk, 57, has tinkered and tailored hundreds of cans of the popular soft drink into the incredibly detailed designs - including miniature recreations of F1 cars.

Lindsay, from Knottingley, doesn't even like Coca-Cola - however with help from his next door neighbour's donations, he has crafted the vehicles from more than 60 cans per piece.

Every can is sliced and formed to match up with official logos of the vehicles, with a particular attention to detail in the recreation process of well known vehicles.

Lindsay, who works on the youth offending team at Kirklees local authority, said he started his passion just four years ago.

He told the Yorkshire Evening Post that his hobby began while his wife was on holiday in Scotland.

Lindsay said: "I used to sit in the pub shed at the bottom of my garden on a Friday night and crush up the cans I had drunk.

"I sat there and used to think 'what can I do with these?!'
