Feel the wind in your hair

If you've ever yearned for the real open air motoring experience and aren't prepared to start using a motorcycle, then this is for you!

Strip the sheetmetal off a car, replace it with old cables wrapped tightly around the sructural members of the car. Perhaps you could start with the cables off old computers. They're usually thrown away.

Multitudinous colours, low drag, funky.

Sounds like something that would appear in a Cheech and Chong movie.

Trying to imagine a 45 seat usb made from cables...

Have too many old computer wires around the house, do we?

Mate, I've got miles of the bloody stuff, decorating the floor of this office alone. If it wasn't so costly to retrofit I'd go wireless in this room. I've got 7 or 8 workstations in here, and 2 servers along with 3 printers, 4 landline 'phones, 5 chargers for various devices, a refrigerator, stereo, 2 scanners, cable modem, security system, 2 network hubs... It looks like the temporary field office for a F1 Grand Prix team.
