Superbus

[Eki]

An electric bus that takes 23 passengers and reaches the top speed of 250 km/h. Cool.

I once saw a fire engine tarted up for slag do trips. Trouble was that I first saw it from a distance and as far as I was concerned it was a fire engine with awesome lights, lasers and a big stereo. It was only as I neared that I realised the horrible truth, a pink fire engine filled with middle-aged women. What followed was utter terror and some running.

You should have been full of love instead of terror and running.

Trust me, with the type of women that go to hen parties in a pink Fire Engine in the UK you really want to be running.

Could be worse, there's someone with a stretched Ferrari F430 around here. Bloody abomination.

If electric, why the big air scoop in the rear?

Motors don't need cooling?

So nothing to do with the last king of Rome then?

I still think his domination of the 1994 British Touring Car Championship was exceptionally impressive.

Was that the aero year though? I was only 9 but seem to remember Alfa ruffling a fair few feathers with their domination that year.

Cooling and air conditioning? You don't want the passengers to suffocate.

Errr, yes they do? You would be amazed at the heat given off...

I think that was Dave's point :p

[Dave B]

I was trying to be sarcastic and brief. Must try harder. ;)

It's the internet! It can't be done! :d

"The Big Bus". Yay! :D

The tire technology out of it is a very good thing, but while I find it interesting, it is really nothing more than drive-train technology that has been has been used in fork-lifts for fifty or more years.

I still have to admit, I kind of like this thing. It only has a radius of sixty miles, but nowadays that is has become a short commute.

Down Texas over to California way, it might work.
