No, that's not a super-size javelin sticking out of the roof of a MINI. It's actually one of three remote-controlled versions of the popular and cute MINI hatchback being used by London 2012 Olympics officials to collect throwing implements during the field events of this summer's sporting festival.

so the big one can be charged from a 32-Amp wall box supplied as standard.thats nice. most homes have a 80 amp main fuse. so if you are using stuff in the house and turn your shower on ...poof gose the main fuse.oh..and fast charging will kill the batteries alot faster

You mean to say that you lot have never seen these remote-controlled vehicles before at an athletics meeting? So where were you in 2008? Clearly not watching the Olympic Games at Beijing that is for sure. Or indeed various IAAF Diamond League meetings. Thye have certainly saved me running backwards and forwards.
