Very pointy looks sharp should have a safety nib at the front :)
no idea what it is but looks super sonic fast nice pics:thumb:

its called bloodhound ssc, attempting to beat the land speed record and achieve 1000mph next year

Met Richard noble last year. Lovely bloke.

This things got an f1 engine just to run the fuel pump! Looking forward to seeing how it gets on.

they have since replaced that engine with a jaguar supercharged V8...still ridiculous for a fuel pump

:cool:

What an incredibly cool thing to have in at your work. I've watched some of the videos which cover bits of the engineering that have gone into the Bloodhound. The work on the wheels alone is just incredible.

it's been very surreal turning up to see that sitting in the workshop, we did suggest they could leave it here a bit longer, they weren't convinced lol.

Did they run it up for you?:norty:

I'm afraid not John :lol1:

Please tell me you managed to deposit your stick on neons on it!

:lol: funnily enough my colleagues couldn't wait to suggest that either! Ba$tards :lol1:

think i,d still prefer the silver blobeye myself-the wife would,nt be seen dead in anything called "bloodhound" lol

Was Scooby-Doo a bloodhound:wonder:

Talking of "wouldn't be seen dead in" I saw a Focus (must have been one of Fords 'special editions') the other day with a "Thrifty" decal on the back. WTF!

Finally, a car that gets worse MPG than my Subaru.

Date Grain.

I knew that really, thought I'd say it anyway!

Ah, sorry.
