2:32 pm
a thirst for life yet he's more ready for death than most because this is the vehicle martin brunch wyler plans to take to meet his maker. bit strange but now it's very comfortable you know it's i know it it probably it probably seems i don't know spooky for some people but it doesn't but doesn't worry me i think you know it's it's something that will happen to everybody so you have to just. it's a reality you just take the rough with the smooth. beer has played a major role in his life he owns a brewery on the isle of man thirty years ago his brother built him the perfect car by converting an old citoyen into a beer bottle on wheels it's famous on the island then brunch wyler heard about a company that produces custom made coffins. it is a work of art and i feel very proud to have this is it's my final vehicle i love

euros i think the most technical one is the rolls royce. because obviously all like even the mood gods we had to make foremost to to bend the ply round and cramp in the glue them and then when the glue dry we could take them off and foremost so a lot of work went into that. in the store room there are copies as well as original models waiting to be used the coffins help mourners identify what the dearly departed loved most in life or what his or her unfulfilled dream was. that guy ordered this was a big but poor fan. club logo. is very much alive and has been on quite a few exhibitions with this. but not every coffin has an amusing story
2:35 pm
sometimes the coffin makers get choked up especially when it comes to children. it was a young child's musical instrument and then you know that the child is suddenly passed away and we didn't have very long to make. yet it is quite sad. john goes has yet to make a conference for himself but he does have an idea in mind. if i could maybe one probably be a ferrari racing call i mean to ferrari. but yeah maybe one day maybe one day i could make myself on the phone. but first martin was hesitant to tell his wife about his funeral plans but then he created an exhibition about his brewery wanted to exhibit the coffin. but wife doesn't like it she thinks she thinks it's morbid she doesn't like to think about these things i
2:36 pm
like to think that when i do go they'll be a bit for everybody over fried with so make sure that there's plenty of beer available but i just think it's nice if we could. just make it is as easygoing as possible he's made his final arrangements but martin hopes to be around for a long one here so for now the beer coffin is for demonstration purposes only. so what would your special coffin look like we want to know just go to our facebook page and take part in our survey now one weekend quite a short period of time to discover a european city but all its facets but most visitors are on a tight schedule so it's good to know before hand what to do and if you're a max report a maggot lee will show you how to have the perfect weekend this time around she's
