British nutters will drive at 1,000 mph

When they're Americans, they're heroically pushing the frontiers - when they're Brits, they're nutters.

If only it could go from Britain to Scotland in 50 mins.. but the fuel would run out, the wheels would wear out, and it wont go round bends. It would do well on Nascar but not F1. Literally, FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET.. years I've waited to say that, years! Now, I die easy.

Hmm.. I guess there's no way to say "that's stupid!" without being accused of stating the obvious.
But one day many moons ago, I went to Lake Bonneville and I saw a woman get booted off a covered wagon caravan that was recreating some historical salt flat odyssey the zany mormons had done at some time in the past (I gather that she hadn't been invited).
So I mean, come on, at least on a rocket car you get it over & done with after just a couple minutes. At least you got THAT going for you.

"Britain to Scotland in 50 mins"

errm i think you'll find Scotland is in Britan


a vehicle that can be used in only one place in the entire solar system or known space for that matter. Yippee. Now when the elites need to get from one end of the dry lake bed to the other but don't feel like going below ground or teleporting,they can use this.

Maybe these guys will put wings on it and invent the airplane someday too.

Me goes and watches Buckaroo Banzai now.

Assuming you mean England to Scotland, I can do that in 2 seconds... I put one foot in, one foot out, in out, in out and just for good measure, I shake it all about!

"errm i think you'll find Scotland is in Britan"

Yes of course, but... it might fly to Ireland and then land in Scottland!

I'd settle for getting through the one way system in less than 20 minutes. Who wants to go to Scotland anyway .. why not build a car that can go from Scotland to somewhere decent.

Would'nt it be a great idea, to put Richard Hammond at the wheel? :P

You'll have a job building a car that will go to somewhere decent from Scotland. As we only have one land border I think the thing you are thinking of is a boat...

your right Grunchy it is stupid,and thats what i love about Britain,The americans see a challenge and want to be the first or the fastest ,the Japanese want to do it smaller ,the French want to ..erm.......erm.But the Brits will spend months planning how to do it in open toed sandals whilst wearing a nuns outfit and drinking a pint of bitter and eating a packet of crisps,BRITS-Nutters one and all an i love everyone of em.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN (Elizabeth not Elton)

...the mutts nuts...

I'd like to go to Scotland, although, now that I've said it I can't for the life of me say why.

FREEEEEEDOM.
HAHA HE died.

and this is my car.

But is it fast enough for a gatso to miss it?

Brits, they're nutters. haha if we are nutters why do we come up with the best ideas Americans, just copy and try to keep up with the use nutters




The only real record being broken here is that of this years most utterly pointless vehicle, right up there with the fully blinged out hummer. Big woop!

Such a complete waste of good engineering and technology, A new mouse trap would be more exciting and a damn sight more useful.

This does nothing to push technology, there is zero innovation here. Just some rather dull boys with a biggles/buck rogers fixation (yawn, like the 5 zillion before them) and a big pot of cash to waste.

So much to do so little.

""errm i think you'll find Scotland is in Britan" 

Yes of course, but... it might fly to Ireland and then land in Scottland!"

Thats Ryanair for you!


Ah, but which side do you reside upon? That is the important question!

Also, crizh clearly wins comment of the year! Scots Wahey!

Why is it that when I go anywhere outwith the British Isles, the first thing people ask me to do is yell "FREEEEEEDOM". :<

Another vote for getting The Hammster behind the wheel of this.

I thought you had fixed paragraphs in this damned thing (or at least half-fixed them)?
