The 10 Fastest Green Cars on the Planet

I’d still prefer a Lexus LS 600h L for the day to day stuff, if that’s ok with everyone. Myself and T would be happy to share a Tesla at the weekend, assuming they can actually deliver one…

Wired: Among old-school gearheads, conventional wisdom is that gasoline is where the fun is, was and always will be (until the pumps run dry). Alternative-fuel automobiles — hybrids, diesels, electrics and the like — are dorky, cumbersome and slow. But a growing body of evidence suggests environmental consciousness doesn’t have to mean boring. To wit: 10 cars — funky, fun and each the fastest for its power source, from an American-built ethanol-fueled roadster that runs like the wind, to a three-seat urban buggy from France that runs on the wind.

O2 Customer Forum

I’m delighted to report that O2 launched a customer forum this afternoon — partly because I had an involvment, but also because it’s great to see large companies inviting their customers in and communicating with them. There’s a lot of mistakes to be made in the online community business, but I get the impression O2 have the very best of intentions with these forums, long may they continue!
