Title: UK team attempts steam car record
Post by: Proteus on August 19, 2009, 12:01:46 pm

A team of British engineers is to begin four days of attempts to break the longest-standing land speed record.

They hope their steam car, Inspiration, will achieve speeds of 170mph (274km/h) at Edwards air base, in California's Mojave Desert
 
the driver is   British  /  American , reading the news they have been having problems with the gas getting to hot ! so they are using dry ice , we have problems getting it warm
