    +1 for adding this. It also was responsible for the first car accident.

    This baby is indeed sweet. I bet it can hit top speed in the quarter mile.

    I bet it would take a reheating to get across a 1/4 mile, but then again it didn't have brakes so it might coast

    i'm sure at 4km/h it wasn't to bad of an accident, the driver was probly just trying to stop it and decided to hit something lol

    I have a couple of drawings from that time, remind me to post them when I'm back from work. It was quite the accident really.

    True fact: Ben Franklin built a similar vehicle while vacationing in Cleveland. Called the 'Cleveland Steamer', however the project failed due to unknown reasons.

    15min @ 4mph = 1 mile per reheat
    unless it takes a #$%#ing long time to reach 4mph then I reckon it would easily clear the quarter under it's own steam (literally).

    Weighing 12,000kg, an accident in this thing could cause quite a bit of damage to other stuff. It's the same as a 1,200kg car crashing at 40km/h.
