Porsche built 82 cars with "901" badging before Peugeot caught wind of it and pointed out their patent for car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. Rather than sell it under a different name in France, Porsche simply changed the name to 911, reasoning that "911" was already well known in a very important market for Porsche, being the USA's emergency service number!

The Filet-O-Fish was created in 1962 by a McDonald's franchise owner in Cincinnati who was concerned by low burger sales on Fridays due to the area being predominantly Catholic and therefore not eating meat on a Friday. The 911 was introduced two years later in 1964, while the classic children's toy Barrel of Monkeys was released in 1965.

Released in 1992 the McLaren F1 shocked the supercar world with its mind-blowing performance and prodigious power (461kW) from its 6.1-litre BMW S70/2 V12 engine. It could rip from 0 to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds, which was mind-blowing for the time. Of course, a $69,990 MG4 XPower does in in 3.8 seconds these days...
