I have been following that cars development and build on YT for years.
I know it's not a small thing but about time they ran the bastard already. There has been a LOT of Millions pumped into so time to put it to use.
Water speed Record Holder Australian Ken Warbys Son has been testing his boat getting ready to see if he can break his dads record. I remember that when I was a kid. Also remember the main sponsor, Fosseys. A clothing store like best and less my mother and grandmother would seem to spend an eternity in while I was bored out my mind.
Always seems funny a company like that would sponsor a water speed record but I guess they got their advertising Dollars returned.... not that it might have done them much good in the end! I also remember the boat being displayed in the local shopping centre after Warby got the record.
Could still smell the jet fuel in the tail pipe which showed it wasn't a mock up but the real thing.
Would be good to see both records broken. I think especially for the LSR they are getting well into the territory where they will be thinking of a plane sticking itself to the ground on the wheels rather than a land based vehicle as such.
