.... Hound, that is.

£12M needed, so please check your pockets and down the back of the sofa.

Oh, and you could be the driver!

Hmmm...I'm a Bloodhound Ambassador - at least I was when the project was 'active'...but the chances of finding a new driver with 'appropriate financial backing' are remote if not impossible I'd say. It's a shame and I don't know why Andy Green is stepping back and the press release doesn't say why either :(

Guy Martin would be the man to drive it. Maybe. No fear!

Finances though would be another thing.

As an aside, the simulator ride at Coventry motor museum is scary enough - going sideways at 600mph ...
