I'm impressed, but then again I'm easily excited :D
But to see a car thats entirely powered by nothing but the wind is impressive, not only is it powered by the wind, it can actually go faster than the wind, something until now was thought to be IMPOSSIBLE!

It got upto 126mph, 3.56 times faster than the current wind speed.

Cool or what?
Warning - LOTS AND LOTS of wind noise. http://www.fasterthanthewind.org/

assuming you had a consistant wind and good surface you have a perpetual motion machine there!

Impossible, no such thing as perpetual motion. Oh wait...

Assuming there was no friction or drag, my car would be a perpetual motion machine :)
