Sad to see this incredible venture in trouble again and seeking a buyer.

Even at my stage of life these trials of human endeavour and extreme engineering I find captivating, the work they have done in engaging youngsters into the sciences has been unparalleled, it all depends on how you view the importance of these projects personally of course. It will be a sad day for me when the human race stops trying to raise the bar for no other reason than doing just that because they can and have the need to.

That's probably exactly how some of these projects get started.

When I visited the project at Avonmouth a few years ago, you could sponsor it and have your name on the tail piece. I see it has since had a paint job! I notice as well they are looking to develop an electric fuel pump. The version I saw at that time, the pump was powered with a Jaguar F type engine! (do not attempt this on a Morgan...it’ll probably run a bit rich!)

All of these projects have a high percentage of crazy in them, just like dragsters they appeal to me..
