    2016? Bloodhound SSC 1000 MPH?? ..........Blue
    cant download the pic but take my word for it

    I think it is fair to say you will find blue dominating in air, sea, and electric and just goes to show when Blue isn't the fastest its definitely the prettiest to attract the sponsors.


    I rest my case M'Lud

    the red car and the blue car had a race
    all that red could do was stuff his face
    he eats everything he sees
    from trucks to prickly trees
    but smart old blue he took the milky way

    he's looking for a chocolate treat
    fluffy and light
    cos he knows it won't spoil his app-e-tite

    mm mm MMMM!

    oh no! the bridge has gone, poor old red just can't carry on
    but smart old blue, he took the milky way

    Anyhow....My original thought about bright indicators....Ive sorted it....by facing them down about 10 degrees you can now look at them for 3 flashes before you go blind:rolleyes::rolleyes:
