This QOTW will lead to more answers...
and it will grow in size to a biblical QOTW I feel. So far I have contemplated purchasing some lego, a unicycle, and a eukelele........IT'S ONLY BLOOMIN FRIDAY SO FAR!!!!!

I fear for my bank balance at this rate

P.S I once bought a model Formula 1 car, about 4ft long, what a waste of money! I was expecting super quick speeds and handling like it was on rails. In hindsight anything powered by 8AA batteries is never going to be quick :(

In fact 8 ultra-high-capacity batteries could power a 1000BHP Bugatti Veyron- at FULL POWER- for almost 20 miliseconds.

It'd reach (assuming no losses etc) slightly less than 1.5mph.
