By a channel that scrapes it content from other popular videos without attribution! I think the original is this one, 6 days old. Possibly it was just a fluke where the snow and ice came down quicker than the gritters could get round? I'd have hoped somewhere like Canada would have been prepared for this kinda weather! Jmaes

Its really cheap while you're learning as your always supervised, a friend of mine fell in to that trap. Do a quote for the same car as if he had just passed his test and prepare yourself for a shock .. ! James

Infact, now I'm on the desktop, number 3!

Number 4 definitely!

Becoming a Mistress Thatcher .. that's something you do in your spare time at the weekends, right? I'll see myself out!

A friend has an S60R with a few plastic panels under a few components on the underside - he once got an advisory for them being unable to view the entire underside because of the plastic panel that was there.The following year, keen to get a 100% clean sheet, he removed it .. and got and advisory for .. a missing cover. You can't win!

Doesn't look like they are down - the shadow has a gap at the back of the trailer ... they're strapped on to the deck of the trailer ... but its America, you can't expect too much!

Right next to the BP on Uxbridge Road

Exactly lol!

There is a garage down the road from me whos sign says they will work on "Breakes" ... Not sure what those are.

My entry ... Gonna link it as its a big image. http://i.imgur.com/uupVUhk.jpg Thats after 150 motorway miles, and being parked in a field most of the weekend! James

A special effects crew built it, for the film "Man of Steel", the latest Superman film. Link to scene - pause at 1:41

Awesome, 'grats! Will have to keep my eyes open

That's a tidy looking repair! Hopefully the other side won't go on your next flight! Going to be doing some fibreglass (Well, really should be using Kevlar ... ) repairs to my Marblehead in the next few weeks, slight hull-deck leak where she's taken a bash a few years ago. Only an issue in high wind though, fortunately! The difficulty is the patch I want to put on needs to go in through a 2" square hole, and is a reasonably tight angle, barely inside the reach of fingers. Then its on with re-fairing both the keels, which have also taken some bumps and bangs along their life, but they are un-painted carbon fibre, so its going to be a bit harder to disguise any repairs, so I may just have to use clear epoxy with no filler or glass, and hope that it holds up under the small amount of flex. http://i.imgur.com/GDIaGJA.jpg James

Friend has similar setup - bit smaller HMD. FPV Kit?

I call for similar reasons, plus at 250mph++ you'd be hard pressed to see the drone. Plus, this person seems to think that aircraft are made of biscuits, and a small lightweight plastic (carbon fibre and a few cables really) drone would shatter a winglet like that ...

Surely you could just .. stay home and do it from a screen there? And a man with a van delivers it later?

Only 140-something KG. With 135k kp peak, weight isn't such an issue, drag will be - they'll be burning a tonne (literally 1T) of fuel in the course of the run after all

They need about 50KG a second of the propellant for the rocket ..... Plus for the rest of the run it powers all the electronics and hydraulics.

Yeah! I think at one point it was going to be an F1 engine. Obviously Jag have stumped up some more sponsorship money and an engine ... ! As for 1000mph .. very likely. Tens of thousands of hours wind tunnel testing, countless more virtually modeling airflows, drag, downforce, etc over every inch of the car ... I have a feeling we'll be seeing the record smashed soon. Its Power/weight is insane, so if they can keep it in a straight line, and on the ground ... it'll do it.

Being empty, with minimal fuel, in probably perfect conditions ... and undoubtably accelerating to a much higher speed than actually required for takeoff probably all help! Impressive though!

Speed tape! Rated for hundreds of mph, freezing temperatures, etc. Perfectly safe! Likely they've put some sealant around the cowling, and its going to take longer to sure than the time the aircraft is on the ground, so tape it over to protect it.

All that power through those spindly little driveshafts?
