Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising offer comes from Wikispeed, makers of a custom, modular car that claims to be able to drive 100 miles on a single gallon of gasoline. On Bitcoin Friday only, customers who purchase a Wikispeed SGT01 with Bitcoins can get 20 per cent off the list price, a $5,000 discount.

As the November 9 sale got underway, your Reg reporter checked in with Holmquist to see how it was going. "It's going fantastic so far!" came the response. "We had so many hits this morning that I had to upgrade servers and add some DDoS protection."

So... did they sell anything?

Currently BitPay is having one it's highest volume days. Some merchants are out of stock already. It's doing well.
I think he means "Did these WikiSpeed guys sell anything or did they just get a lot of traffic?"
Ahh, I'll be able to tell you tomorrow!
