  • Dull cunt......look who's talking!!

    Last time I checked, Wales was a part of Britain. The United Kingom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is comprised of four nations, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

    Next time you think about talking, dont, just STFU!

  • all you are doing is lowering yourself to the level of the people you argue with and complain about. it's really pathetic. maybe you should put away your thesaurus and disable comments like on your other video

  • Why would I need a thesaurus to know about my own country?

    Someone needs to educate these morons. A life of 'three stars on the name badge' is surely beckoning, but at least I can try to point out mistakes where possible!

  • Americans broke the sound barrer and land speed record in 1979 . Look up Hal Needham and the Budwiser Rocket Car.

    It had 3 wheels, not 4 and dd not run back the other direction...but it still was the fastest car on earth

  • No-one heard a sonic boom.

    Besides, we all know how much Americans like to shout about their achievements. If they really had done it, we would never hear the end of it.

    The silence is deafening!

  • You know so little about us and we know so much about you. Know why? Because you insist in airing your idiocy constantly.

    And we're not the only ones going for the LSR. You have the North American Eagle, an F104 with its wings chopped off....fail!!

    Oh and Brits gave the world the telephone, radio, jet engines, penicillin, radar, submarines, television and many many other things................includin­g America!

  • >> land bound vehicles travelling above mach 1 on land DO create a sonic boom, and The Bud rocket car never. Until someone 'actually' broke the sound barrier on land the arguement was up in the air, no one knew. Now we know, he never went mach 1 as unlike anything else that goes supersonic, including a car on land, it never made a sonic boom. Hal went 748mph, Thrust SSC went 763mph, Hal's record is broken and Thrust did the full 2 runs, 1 each way in the 1 hour turn around time, end of !!

  • Hal Needham official went 748mph, slower than the speed of sound, all evidence shows he was close to the speed of sound... I'm english, we hold the record and even I acknowledge just how fast the guy went and good on him, credit where it's due. However the Air Force by conjecture considered it reasonably to think he went mach 1 based on a provisonal mach numer in the air, not ground level. Now someone has 'Officially' broken the speed of sound on land and it's validated it proves one thing >>>>>

  • For the record chaps, BLOODHOUND is being built in Bristol. Swansea University (Wales) are helping get the aerodynamics perfect.

  • @bluewinegum Not really. What the Veyron Supersport did was epic on every level. I like it better than the Aero because the Veyron SS is a luxury car that can do 265 mph. The Aero pales in comparison, even if it can go about as fast as a Veyron SS.

  • @me4play proof???  oh none lol

  • @UltimateWheelman shame it got beat again by the veyron eh lol

  • @PrivateCustard Sure, like when the Ultimate Aero beat the Veyron's speed record. We told the world a million times.........NOT!

  • Will they make a Road Version ?

  • @microcooper125

    Loath though you will be to admit it, Wales is actually a part of England. Check your Tudor history you subsidised celtic / turkish numbskull. Oh and don't forget to get a nice new pair of big wellies for your favourite sheep, THE OLD ONES ARE WORN OUT!

  • @PrivateCustard everything but the last bit was great
