Police alleged Christopher Ian Petrie, 23, with driving under the influence and driving without a licence after they intercepted the Esky which was equipped with a 50cc two-stroke engine travelling along Noosa Parade on June 16.
Lawyers acting for Mr Petrie appealed to magistrate John Parker for an adjournment while their client "established whether a motorised Esky was in fact a motor vehicle."
Clearly amused, Mr Parker granted the adjournment before inquiring about the Esky's performance and abilities.
"How much beer can it hold?" Mr Parker asked with a smirk.
Mr Petrie told the court the Rsky could hold "at least a couple of cartons."
He will re-appear in court on August 16.
I like!
