Hamster Dragster – New Nitro Edition

For some small rodents, a wheel or a ball is not enough. Your Hamster has a need, a need for speed!

Introducing new Nitro Hamster Dragsters from SpeedRat.com. Your Hamster will never be the same again once it has been accelerated by this little chrome encrusted beauty.

I just got one delivered, for Mr Dibbles, my own personal furry friend. Sure he surveyed it suspiciously with just one beady eye (the other having been unfortunately lost at sea in remote controlled speed boating accident), but I could see in his one fully functioning peeper, he was genuinely intrigued.

It came with a free and rather cute helmet and fire retardent suit. Once Mr Dibbles had wiggled squeakily into it he seemed quite happy and maybe even a little chuffed to be donning such stylish gear. The cute little lightning bolts boldly emblazoned on the back also added tastefully to the ‘go faster’ ensemble.

Once kitted up, Mr Dibbles was ready for launch. The Dragster comes fully assembled and fuelled. The Nitro booster itself is rather refreshingly decorated with all manner of warning labels, replete with skulls and exclamation marks, promising a grisley end to those who inspect it far too closely. This did not phase Mr Dibbles in the least who just sat in the cockpit, nibbling on a sunflower seed through a specially designed flap in his helmet visor.

So, off we went to the nearest long straight stretch of road, as two happy chums with the prospect of some hot hamster dragster action. I placed Mr Dibbles (in his chrome vehicle festooned splendor) on the tarmac, and waited for him to lift his tiny paw to press the fantastically dangerous looking large red button on the dash. He never did, so I gave him a helping hand by pressing it for him.

I could tell Mr Dibbles was excited by the way his remaining beady eye stared back at me accusingly (as if he was saying to me, “why didn’t you get me one of these before. Its great!”)

The excitment was intense. There was a hiss of steam and a spinning of wheels. I should mention here that SpeedRat.com offer a full money back guarantee in case of Dragster malfunction, and will replace your hamster with a near identical one* should your hamster dragster explode, or should any of the inbuilt safety features, such as the ejector seat, fail. Neat.

I can confirm the Mr Dibbles did set a new rodent land speed record, and that the parachute did indeed deploy at the end of the run, however, Mr Dibbles could not be found in the drivers seat when I finally caught up to the Dragster. He was kind enough though to neatly fold up the fire retardent suit and place the helmet neatly on top.

Later I heard that he had actually ran off to join the circus, and became the worlds first Hamster Cannonball.

Anyway. At $299 the Hamster Dragster (Nitro Edition) is a steal.
