Hi,
I thought some of you might be interested to know that the team building a steam powered car to break the land pseed record had their first low speed run.

Only in the UK would they reference the thermal capabilities of the boiler as:

3 Megawatts of heat
~1500 kettles
~23 cups of tea per second

Holy smoke, er steam. That is awesome and beautiful too.

And in British racing green too! LOL! Awesome!

Really looks like a fighter jet without wings though!

It's really sad what we have to do to build our world record attempting car. Take a look at the bunch of chicken-sheds and run-down shacks used to house the work effort. What a farce.

But of course, we are relying on the massive grants and other support from our gubmint.

Not.

In the USA no doubt at least a hundred billionnaires would have shaken out their pocket change to help put Uncle Sam back on top.

Rightly so, too.
