Porsche RS60 SpyderSometimes the word replica gets a bad wrap. When heard as an adjective in front of Rolex, Fender or Ray-Ban, it makes us want to take a shower.

But when dropped in front of Porsche RS60 Spyder, we get mildly excited. And when the name Chesil is thrown into the mix, we get very excited indeed.

Unlike the (sometimes crappy) kit RS60s that have emerged over the years, the upcoming Chesil RS60 looks to be something quite special…

The fibreglass bodied car has a spaceframe chassis, a flat four air-cooled engine developing 180bhp and a five-speed Porsche gearbox.

Come on, that’s hot stuff.

Jet Clean and Charge SystemLast week we brought you the instructional video for traditional wetshaving and so today, at the opposite end of the technological spectrum, we bring you the Norelco 7800XLCC Jet Clean System.

The ’system’ (why have just a shaver, when you can have a system) is listed as having some amazing features, all of which are important enough to warrant Title Case. There’s the Precision Cutting System (blades, we assume), Individually Floating Heads (unlike those shavers where all the blades are stuck together?) and, most impressively, the Patented Reflex Action® (springs?).

What caught our eye most, however, was theJet Clean and Charge System, which we’ve pictured. Is it true that the Jet Clean Solution, in which the shaver is immersed, is a space-age electrolyte, charging the shaver with precious energy while simultaneously jet cleaning the blades?

We hope so, but doubt it.

Cool looking shaver though. And it beats getting shaver dust everywhere with one of those dinky little brushes…
