Brits go for 1000mph land speed record
Richard Noble's lot are trying to build a car that will smash the 1000mph barrier
This thing is insane - it has an 800bhp race engine for a fuel pump!
All engineered and built in good old blighty :D

ah shit it was posted earlier, but the bbc link..
Sod it, look at the proper website instead, i implore you - I find it helps if you make elaborate wooshing "neeeeeyowww" noises and imagine it going past really quickly.
1000mph people! that's faster than a bullet!
It gobbles a ton of fuel in 22 seconds!
a ton!
in!
22!
seconds!
I'm off for a lie down

i think...
that on a train, on rails, you might achieve such speeds. In the air, I'm sure you can achieve such speeds.
On land? With wheels on the ground? Where pebbles live?
I predict death.
