Good vid, especially the cows bit.
I wonder if there could be a way to get Mister Noble interested in getting back the WWSR?

Well he's got a good track record with the Land Speed Record and there doesn't appear to be any serious Water Speed contenders at the mo. I mean Quicksilver talk the talk and all that, and quite rightly K7 isn't going to be going flat out again.Renegadenemo wrote:tas wrote:Good vid, especially the cows bit.

Unless you've got something up your sleeve for when the blue boat is finished?

Re: Off Topic- Richard Noble/Bloodhound SSC
We've discussed building a new boat many times. And, let's face it, we'd certainly hit the ground running. We have a wealth of data from a genuine record breaker, a workshop, sponsor base, more engineers than you can shake a stick at not to mention our volunteer team and working with new material is a laugh and a joke compared to mending squashed stuff. I suppose all it would take is some motivation but at the moment a year off at the end of this little lot sounds more tempting.

Nice little piece, is that. And better still it's called a 'diary' and not that other word. Wonder where they came up with the idea?

Come on then, what's it going to be RoJ or JoR? I reckon they'll stick with RoJ

Yeah-concur with that-(a) jet is a heavy item to stick on top of the car-kinda bugger up the CoG-(b) if rocket engine blows the pilot is sitting in front of it!-on top it just may blow off the top of the car-or be blown with a "chicken switch" (c) sizes- jet is far bigger than rocket-car would look "funny" and thrust vectoring may be "off".
