Subject: Buy a brand new Batmobile

Batman fans can now get their hands on a roadworthy replica of the Batmobile from the 1960s TV series.
The cars are on sale for £120,000 after a US company was licensed to produce them.
Batmobiles, which come with accessories including 'rocket exhaust' flame throwers, are available from Firebox.com - with free delivery.
The iconic vehicles also boast custom leather seats, a push-button ignition, working lights and a brand new GM350 crate engine to power their fibreglass body.
"Needless to say replica Batmobiles don't come cheap," notes Firebox of the cars' hefty price tag.
"But suave millionaires and their youthful wards don't care about money, and neither should you.
"This is your chance to own a custom built, officially licensed replica of the most famous car on the planet. Holy mechanical marvel!"
Other features include opening roll-top dashboard doors, a flashing red beacon, an automatic Batbeam antenna grid and a glowing Detect-a-Scope radar screen.
Adding a 21st-century touch are a six-speaker sound system, a dash-mounted DVD player and electric actuators that open the bonnet and boot.
