Sparks Will Fly!

We got a new toy to play with at Firebox HQ. The Razor Spark Scooter not only folds away for quick getaways but it also has an impressive flint cartridge on the back which when pressed to the floor will create big sparks. Get your mates to buy one and you could have an impressive display team!

We like driving in our car... it ain't quite a Jaguar.

Well in fact most of the Fireboxers are very green friendly as our recent hand count suggests that most of us get to work using public transport. Was it Maggie Thatcher who said "A man riding a bus (to work) at age 26 may count himself a failure"? Well if so, we're proud to be failures, even though our recent award collection may tell you otherwise!

Saying that, we have seen a few Fireboxers road testing the Ego Scoota (another award winner!) on their way to work and what a nifty little get around that is. Though there is one thing it currently lacks... an awesome registration plate.

We're just gonna have a look through this lovely lot to inspire us. Click here for more.

Up, Up and Away

Another balloon themed post!

48yr old helium hero Ken Couch, lived his dream by managing to attach 150 Helium filled balloons to his garden chair and travelled up to 230 miles away. He controlled the flight by shooting at the balloons to slowly bring him down.

What a genius idea!
