A mucho fast pickup truck. How fast? They took it out to the Salt Flats and "ran it out", and it did 211 mph in the flying mile. It does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.. not bad for a pickup truck... :) What does this have to do with the Amiga...? Easy, plug in an Amiga into the cigarrette lighter... and you have the fastest landbased Amiga this side of the Cray-YMP emulation board (by C=, $19.95)...
