Oi, Dead Dog, have a word with yourself, will you?

Supersonic Car Gets Boost from RAF

This car is going to do 1000 mph, that’s faster than any jet fighter in history at ground level, including the Typhoon.
There are plenty of jets faster than Typhoon at low level - in fact, due to its engine design and wing loading, the Typhoon is most unhappy at very high speed at low level; it p!sses fuel out the back and throws you about like a bucking bronco!

What a shame we never ran the old F3 at low level for the Guiness Book of Records...are there any still left in one piece at Leeming?
