    Correct. Haven't received any new photos.. If i do i'll be sure to post them..

    Oh, this car..



    Was built by Tom Hanna (Google him..). One of the best and most famous body/chassis builders in the US. It's a gas (petrol) powered streamliner with an aluminium 426 HEMI, not sure of the exact cubes, but as you can see it was no expense spared.. Twin plugs.. the lot.

    The record for it's class is (was) 317mph. They took it out the day before yesterday for a shakedown pass.. Basically they just wanted to give it a bit of a squirt, see how it went and check everything out..

    They went 379mph....... On the shakedown pass.
