£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.
