RESULT! 131 MPH on steam


The British Steam Car Challenge breaks the Mallard's steam speed record of 125.88 mph set in 1938 and Fred Mariott's 1906 speed in a Stanley Steamer of 127.659.

Well done, lads.

(And yes, my very American seven-year old daughter does know the chorus.)

So now introduce your daughter to Gilbert and Sullivans song "For he is an Englishman" ;-)

I felt the need to stand up and I'm not even British.
