British Steam Car — aka 'Fastest kettle in the world' — continues assault on world land-speed record for steam-powered vehicles
True.
The record is 127 mph, set in — ready? — 1906 by American Fred Marriott.
About time someone decided to take it on.
The British team's latest effort began last Wednesday on Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert, where the footage above and below was shot.
About time somebody put the steam back into steampunk.
