PREPARING your car for the apocalypse may sound absurd - but one firm insists they've got you covered.

And when your tyres get the inevitable puncture as road crumbles beneath you, a real life £5 repair kit will let you drive for up to 100 miles.

Below we look at the nine crazy ways to apocalypse-proof your motor - and reveal the cars you should hop in if disaster strikes.

Flamethrower

Take out zombies with dragon's breath and send the un-dead back to their graves.

Dousing these morgue-dodgers in flames will prevent you becoming one of them.

Tyreweld Emergency Puncture repair

The mindbogglingly useful Tyreweld Emergency Puncture repair seal will stop you grinding to a halt.

Simply apply the sealant to the puncture and you'll be able to drive for 100 miles - and it'll set you back just £5.

Roof lights

Blinding lights will dazzle zombies but also illuminate roads plunged into darkness during the apocalypse.

You'll also be able to charge off-road and at least see the chaos that has befallen planet earth.

Ejector seat

If it all goes a bit Pete Tong you can get the no-pun-intended hell out of there James Bond-style.

Shoot through the roof and to safety, maybe, and carry on your survival away from the confines of your car.

Studded tyres

Gripping anything from snow, ice and even corpses... you'll get through anything with these round the rubber.

Front plough

Shove those zombies, aliens or barricades out the way with a plough.

Lethal if you find yourself in front of it, unstoppable behind it.

Reinforced glass

As the un-dead batter your car or aliens try to shoot laser beams through the windscreen, reinforced glass should help.

Armour

Military-grade armour will defend against almost anything - from the flailing clubs of zombies to smashing into apocalyptic debris.

Sound system tannoy

You may not be the only survivor - shout for others through the tannoy.

You can also deafen zombies by blasting Baby Shark on repeat.

Chose your ride

A number of cars available on the current market should be considered when prepping for the end-of-the-world.

Why not go vintage and hop in a 1986 Jaguar Sovereign V12? It was enough for Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead.

Other options include the Ford Expedition EL, favoured by Will Smith in I am Legend.

If Ford isn't your thing, the Dodge Ram should be the ticket.

After all, it was good enough for Jake Gyllenhaal as he tore through a super-storm in The Day After Tomorrow.
