I went to bristol today to visit the Bloodhound SSC development centre. They have the fuel pump engine, jet engine and rocket there already, so i have seen the beginnings of possibly THE best car IN THE WORLD! They are aiming to reach 1000mph on land /http://www.bloodhoundssc.com Does this count as a car ive spotted :lol:
