Why, Malcolm, ol' buddy--
that almost sounds like a challenge.

Not to worry about where thrust powered cars can run ........ it is 20
years since Richard Noble recaptured the outright land speed record for
Britain (04/10/83 UK or 10/04/83 USA) driving Thrust 2.

His team has since moved the goalposts with Andy's supersonic runs in the
later Thrust SSC but after 20 years you might expect another country to put
forward an attempt to gain this accolade.
