In mid February we were invited by the FBHVC (federation of British Historic vehicle clubs) to have some space on their stand at the Race Retro show at Stoneleigh Park. The show was a huge success and attracted a very knowledgeable crowd. As well as appealing to the general public we also generated a lot

For the first time since America in 2018 the male members of the team based in the UK have had the opportunity to get together. We have been very kindy invited by the FBHVC to bring our car, this weekend, to the Race Retro show at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire. A truly beautiful, if damp
Or more accurately New Year Aero Since our last visit to Utah in 2018 whilst we have been busy showing and working on the car, we have also been busy researching ways to make the car faster, safer and more reliable. Amongst the updates we have already carried out, as our regular followers will know,
Last year while we were preparing the car between our Pendine runs and loading the car into the container an awful lot of work was carried out. After our South Wales adventure the only thing that remained in the car was the roll cage. The complete car was stripped down, loads of sand was removed

Apologies for the delay in this post, real life has crept up on us and we have had to go to work to feed our Land speed racing habit. Work is continuing on the car at a relatively slow pace. Our new gearbox has now been obtained and the rest of the associated items, clutch,
We are very pleased to announce that we will be making all preparations for a return to Bonneville in 2020. With the lessons learnt last year we now have a list of things to change or repair and hopefully have all the information we need to reach our target speed of 200 mph. As our
As seems to be all too common I will start the with an apology. Over the winter with the cold temperatures very little has happened to the car itself. As such there was little progress to report, whilst we weren’t idle there was very little to write about. As previously reported the underside of the
