Re: The Bloodhound SSC/Thrust/Noble Thread
It's absolutely terrific that the Bloodhound team have reached the point of running the car. A tribute to the sheer tenacity of Richard & Co.

Re: What have forum members been up to?
The BBC News website caught my eye this morning, reporting: "In 2015 a French court prevented a couple from naming their baby girl Nutella after the hazelnut spread, ruling that it would make her a laughing stock." Surely to God, it would only be a laughing stock if they'd named it Oxo. I'...
