And it truly quirky proud to be British mode, it's a steam powered car!

They're out at Edwards AFB at the moment preparing.

Steam turbines aren't anything new. Even getting a Steam Turbine to 100MPH isn't new. Getting a steam turbine that small and do 100mph is something new. Congrats to those guys for getting this far up to now. I hope they get a good speed record set that will stand for a while.

I wonder what a nuclear powered steam train would be like...
