The title is misleading. People think they get to see a steam car running. Then you give us the shtick, 'UNFORTUNATELY', I would expect something like this from the French, but Brits?

Actually, steam ... ( 3 months ago by perltyr)
Actually, steam engine is the father of our diesel and gasoline engines. It is even better because the piston does two torque strokes instead of one stroke like diesel or gasoline. The only problem is heating the water to generate the steam. On government level big engines, they use Plutonium rods dipped in heavy water, which have the ordinary water kettle dipped in it. All of our navy vessels and subs are steam powered. The same engine can use compressed air, like the new City CAT from India

Maybe we can put huge pieces of canvas on ships, and use wind power to move our vessels across huge spans of water!!!

100 years and we are trying to break a record made using inappropriate technology?! Why not try fixing something that is broken.
Talk about fiddling while Rome burned.

No, the french would use their time to separate their recycling and use the balance having excellent nonpolluting sex.

100 years later and we can't even double the speed. I'd say I concur with your assessment that this old technology needs to be 86'd.

Amazing.. 128MPH in 1906 and 100 years later we are going to try to break that by 40-50 MPH.. LoL
i read this car on ... ( 3 months ago by sb6lb3)
i read this car on some website i will not name. i frown on this car. 100 years ago, steam car such as the stanley steamer and great doble could attain these speeds with RECIPROCATING ENGINES! this thing has a turbine, it dumps the steam back out and can barely reach its speed. the doble steam car can reach 120 100 years ago and is probably around the efficentcy of cars today. not to mention it was a aerodynamic disaster and weighed like a ton. i frown on this car

well yea, but they ... ( 3 months ago by mrboxleytheonly)
well yea, but they are not as efficient as gas cars. Yea they can go fast, once, then you have to stop, and refuel, yea it's cleaner, yea it was fast, but it takes too much to do so little you know?
If only steam cars ... ( 3 months ago by 7div)
If only steam cars had over 100 years of developement like the petrol engine cars.

mr box that is an absolute lie. steam engines, if recirculating the steam, were reaching an efficentcy of of almost 40% thats much higher than the 25% of the cars today
you know it doesn't ... ( 2 months ago by mrboxleytheonly)
you know it doesn't collect most, yea maybe for like a day's use it would be that efficient, you would need to refill it a lot faster than most cars, and it's speed is not efficient with the amount of power it takes to move something, like an 18 wheeler, good luck with that..
