Electric cars are paving the way for the 300mph club. Would be interesting to see what Dyson can do.

Yes I saw this at the weekend and it was planned to be very long and low with a massive wheelbase. Better have rear wheel steering or it will suck at manoeuvres.

I think you need to google "hoover", using your search engine of choice. Then write the definition on a post it with a biro, and sellotape it to your monitor.

Thanks for the info.

Now go over to the main forum and try telling the yanks that Gasoline is just a brand name, and not a type of fuel!

Indeed your brand becoming a verb is the holy grail of marketing.

I was once in a meeting at Microsoft's offices in Reading where I asked if they could google it on bing.
