Segway introduced its personal transporter in 2002 and has sold more than 2,000 in the UK.

They are capable of speeds up to 12mph and cost Â£4,795.

The personal scooters came to international prominence when US President George W Bush fell off one while on holiday in 2003.
;D ;D

Post by: Swagger on April 12, 2009, 05:03:13 PM: sorry bowtie guys, i am a true fan of the classics, and anything fast enough to do something stupid in, but seriously? Segway and GM? thats more of an apocalyptic sign of the end of days, and less of a smart idea on GM's behalf. The need to hurry up with the camaro and come up with a new nova concept. they are definatley falling behind dodge in the eyes of hot rod enthusiasts.

Post by: PaulW on April 13, 2009, 05:52:06 PM: they're bringing up the camero nicely though. 300 hp just from the v6 model. gm wants the v6 camero to beat the mustang gt and rt charger.

Post by: rocket on April 16, 2009, 04:08:34 AM: Bankrupcey is a good thing. it is not the same as going out of business; it will allow them to re-negotiate unioin contracts (to something reasonalbe), clear bad debt, and start over (financially). they will still make cars, come up w/ new ones, etc. the only prob is that since they took obama's (i mean my) money, he will tell them what to build (small, unsafe, POSs)

what happened with your econobox anyway?

and I do have to object to the notion that small cars are unsafe, in general they make up for less metal by stopping and turning better the only time the lighter weight matter is when thye get run over by us in larger heavier vehicles
