So, being a rabid Top Gear fan, l download 'em just after hours after they air over in the U.K. and usually watch 'em at my mate's place over a few beers. Bit of a Sunday ritual.
Last night's episode had an opening story on the Fisker Karma. I really like it. Not so much for the power system, which is basically the same in principle as a diesel-electric locomotive, common as the proverbial on freight trains, but more because it looks sensational and goes like a cut snake. And it is kinda clever, I s'spose, with the solar roof and all.
So later I'm heading home on the highway and bugger me if one doesn't blow past at a squillion miles an hour! I'd never even heard of one and then I see it on Top Gear and on the highway the same evening!
It looks bloody fantastic Made my night. _________________ '80 924 Turbo |

Cool, so they actually got one delivered to a customer!
We have a few of 'em running around our office...  _________________ Vaughan Scott

A story in the local rag today has a picture of the one that tore past me on the highway last Sunday (although oddly it's not the same pic. as the online story).
Awesome looking thing  _________________ '80 924 Turbo |
