whilst I am sure as others will be that Andy Green will fulfil his role, do you have a back up driver as a just in case ? just curious . . .

No we don't

I have a full, clean licence.

Surely they'd be looking for those who have exceeded the speed limits.

Have in a clean license isn't the issue. They need someone who still has clean underpants after having to bang on a dab of oppo at around 760mph....... ;-)

[PhillipM]

Okay, what about if I do it without underpants?
They'll still be clean if I leave them in the breeze at the startline.

Another big day today, the EJ200 will meet up with the upper chassis for the first time today, here she is all strung up & ready to be hoisted in.

Why are big bits of machined metal so cool....

The weight at the front of EJ200 is taken but a single turnbuckle each side....

The material details that Chris Harris was elaborating on were really interesting, it'll look very dull from the outside, but a work of art from the inside!

Join the queue

Ah....but I'll bring biscuits....

So now that's all sorted, pop the contract in the post. I'll PM you my address.

Great to see the car coming together now. I know trial assembly is very important, but my inner child really wants everything to be glued together and the car to start going! Starting to look more and more like the show car now!

Who designed the installation jig/rig? Looks like it was about 3" too short judging by the bits of box section and g clamps........ ;-)
