Compressed air car



Did anyone mention the car that was in the news the other day that runs a respectable distance for a respectable length of time at a respectable speed on compressed air? If so, I didn't see the thread.

Fill it up for £1 from a simple compressor. Sounds good for urban driving and, at 68 m.p.h., still gives the usual prats the chance to flout the law and to kill children.
