Did they manage to have a celebratory brew afterwards ?

Why weren't sponsored by PG or Tetley's

Yay for us though, boldly seizing the initiative with 19th century technology

Bravo for being a hundred years behind the rest of the world.

 

[Friday on my mind]

I guess I wonder whats the point to constructing a steam car and breaking an old record by going 140 mph.Does it have any implications beyond that,like steam powered cars? If it doesn't don't really see why they bothered.

I believe the car has already been sold to Volkswagen.
