pro tip:
If you want to link to a YouTube video and have it start at a specific time, add this:
#t=3m50s  (adjust time to suit)
to the end of the link.

so to start that video at the spot you want this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rf9LMRdAtw
add the above code and it becomes this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rf9LMRdAtw#t=3m50s

then it starts at the point you want!

apparently they can't sell any of them, so they are resorting to throwing them out of helicopters now.

I thought a land speed record was across the land horizontally not vertically. You would need to be driving down a cliff then. That said the Peel's performance was a match for the Bugatti Vyron under the same test conditions and they are even available in the same colour. So electric Peels are as good as Bugs which means they are both useless as mods of transport in the real world. Top Gear, the Buster Gonad of motoring journalism.

Wasn't this posted on here about a year ago? Latest "stunt" is to cover them with strawberry jam and feed them to Cheetahs.

I knew that, but thanks anyway!

I just linked to the beginning of the video in case anyone wants to watch the whole video.

The easier way is just right click on the video at the specific time ;)
