    It looks beautiful, a real steam dream come true. Okay it's more Scitech than Steampunk but it's steaming heart is in the right place.

    ...When suddenly the scientists and all their research dissapeared without a trace, Oil industry leaders claim no knowledge of the dissaperances and swear that the scientist were not dragged into the Arabian desert kicking and screaming.

    It's a British steam driven landspeed record car, and they've painted it good old British Racing Green! Huzzah!

    And going with the theme of steam powered vehicles... how about a steam driven motorcycle from 1896?

    Um, dude this car runs on Petroleum, propane/butane LPG, to be specific. How exactly is this a message towards the power of alternate fuels when they don't use an alternate fuel to power their race car? Instead they went for the fuel that gave them the biggest power to weight ratio for burning a boiler, i.e., a refined petroleum product. Mmm, hydrocarbons!

    Now if that sucker ran on some Nuclear isotopes, then you'd have my interest!

    I myself had no idea that Steam power was still being looked at as a locomotion type for cars. The SAAB project mentioned in the steam car entry of Wikipedia sounded amazing, at least in an environmental frame of mind.
