rich24v, YHM. I only just caught your pm in my junk.

If that's an Americanism, then I need the mind bleach.

I had originally written junk mail, but then changed it to have a little bet with myself as to who would pick up the double entendre I won

Yes it is, had nearly 8000 points as got loads of points for doing the pre testing of the Shell fill up & go with paypal, 1000 points each time i used it (x 4) plus bonus points for filling out a survey

There had to be a cheat in there somewhere!

[VinceM]

I should have one of those coming then, as I've got over 7000 points on my Shell account.

Must clean the truck ready for Sunday - maybe it can wait until Saturday.

Course it can wait till saturday, that will be when mine is getting cleaned. Still need to sort out a date to get it to craig though, probably new year now though what with pub meet on sunday and rolling road the following saturday.

Beautiful piece of blank cheque engineering

Bet I could make 5000hp with a pair of race trim LSX427 engines chained to a common driveshaft for 5% of the cost

[TheLostProphet]

Fantastic big of engineering. I maybe understood 5% of that article lol.

I very much doubt the car its for will ever see the light of day. Would love to be wrong on that assumption as it does look great. Specs are intering as well an estimated top speed of 350mph.

Land speed record is a lot more than 350mph with less than half what that engine produces...

Erm Thrust SSC has 110,000 BHP and no tyres....

Driven wheel and reciprocating engine - like in a real car, as opposed to a rocket plane with no wings:

Speed Demon - George Poteet - 439mph - Twin turbo small block Chevy

You said land speed record without stipulating anything else
