What better way to cool off on a hot summer's day than a large ice cream - and they do not come much bigger than this.

It has been created by Skoda to mark the release of its Octavia vRS car and will feature in its latest television adverts along with other pimped-up gadgets. They include a 'Man-Pram' - a six feet high baby buggy that boasts 20 inch alloy wheels, all terrain tyres, wing mirrors and headlights for night walks. It weighs more than 15 stone and comes complete with a hydraulic suspension, anti-stress push-bar grips, top-of-the-range brakes and brake lights. Babies on board are treated to 'sports-style upholstery' and 'adjustable lumbar support' but its top speed depends on who is pushing it. The range also includes a giant toy trike and lawnmower with multiple exhaust pipes.
Skoda's Heidi Cartledge commented: 'Our giant ice cream van will be touring the UK, handing out up to 6,500 servings of free ice cream. 'It is offering members of the public a fun sense of what you could experience if you vRS'd your life.'
