One Direction ditch private jets in favour of £70,000 customised Scooby Doo tour van
The lads will be unmissable as they cross the US this summer in the vehicle which will have the 1D logo on the side
RAPPERS have Hummers. Rock stars get private jets. But One Direction are hitting the road in a customised version of Scooby Doo’s Mystery Machine.
Like, far out! And no prizes for guessing who wants to be Shaggy. Harry, Niall, Zayn, Liam and Louis are spending almost £70k on brand new wheels, exactly like the one used by the Shagster, Fred, Scooby Doo, Daphne and Velma.
Well, semi-new wheels.
Ahead of this summer’s US tour, the boys are also getting their trademark 1D logo stamped pride of ?place on the green and blue van.
The old VW campervan lookalike is currently getting “wrapped” in a factory in Enfield, and pimped up with all mod-cons.
As well as a state of the art plasma screen filling the entire wall behind the driver’s head, individual entertainment consoles will be on hand to help the lads overcome boredom on the road.

And their vitriolic rantings will increase ten-fold when they realise that there was a small child on the natty transport device at the time, who like Harry, was not wearing a helmet or knee pads.
The 19-year old singer isn’t even looking where he is going as he lifts his arms in to the air and focuses on the young lad who is clinging to the frame of the contraption beneath him.

Former Spice Girl Mel B has lost her bid to switch TV networks as a talent judge in Australia, with a Supreme Court judge banning her from defecting to a rival show.
The Seven Network in Sydney took the Australian X Factor judge, real name Melanie Brown, to court in an attempt at stopping her planned move to a rival, where she was to appear as a judge on Channel Nine’s Australia’s Got Talent.
