If you're looking for revs, the only way to go is a Pfaff sewing machine, like model # 03244I434LUV4324NOS42 images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

We've got some TMPs (turbo molecular pumps, High Vacuum) at work, they rev up to 56,000.

But probably a bit outside his price range images/smilies/smile.gif

i believe the model andrew hui is going to buy for his car is a motorised pull back version. however he may opt for the gas for more masculine power and feel.

anyone got a better suggestion for a new car?
