[SEL] steam car

[Bruce Younger]

"The British Steam Car's target velocity is 170mph, which would net them one of 
  the longest-held speed records, set by Fred Marriott, who achieved a 
  121.57mph flying kilometre record in the Stanley brothers' Rocket at the 
  1906 Florida Speed Week. The target speed will also net the team and its 
  principal backer and record-breaking driver Charles Burnett the records for 
  the kilometre and the mile, as well as beating Sir Nigel Gresley's 126mph 
  1938 Mallard steam locomotive, the world's fastest steam loco."

Wow.  British engineering now feels it has a chance to break records that are 102 and 82 years old?

armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."
